Mr. Nickerson was a man of exceptional executive ability and marked individuality of character. Under an exterior sometimes rough he carried a warm heart, and one of his con-

spicuous virtues was a devoted loyalty to his friends. He was cast in a large mold, born to command, and weaker natures turned to him involuntarily in an emergency, feeling that the proper leader had been found. Among the many instances of his charities may be men- tioned a case where a firm becoming financially embarrassed, Mr. Nickerson loaned them over fifty thousand dollars at a nominal rate of interest on securities refused at the banks, and this enabled them to meet their obligations. The Nickerson Home for Children is another of his charities and is a noble institution. This had been established about 1835 by Mrs. Sarah Heyward, and was supported by voluntary contributions. A house was purchased in 1864 and a large mortgage contracted, whose inter- est ate into the funds to a considerable extent. Mrs. Heyward called upon Mr. Nickerson on a very hot summer's day for his contribution, and he, after making a few inquiries, sent her a check the following day to cancel the five thousand dollar mortgage. The name of the home was then changed to its present one in gratitude for his donation. After the death of Mr. Nickerson the directors of the Arling- ton Mills called a special meeting, and the following resolutions were passed :

RESOLVED, That by the death of our associate, Mr. Joseph Nickerson, who has been a Director of this Company since its incorporation, and Presi- dent of it more than nine years, we have suffered a severe loss. His sagacity, his steadfast courage and confidence in times of financial depression, and his sound judgment, had contributed largely to the success of this Corporation.

RESOLVED, That we extend to the family of the deceased, our sympathy for them in their bereave- ment, and that we will attend his funeral in a body.

RESOLVED, That these resolutions be entered upon our records and that a copy of them be sent to Mrs. Nickerson.

In religious faith Mr. Nickerson was a Uni- tarian, and in politics a Republican, but never held public office. He married (first) June 21, 1827, Emeline Winslow, born February 20, 1807, died July 29, 1834. They had a daughter, Lydia Winslow, born November 29, 1828, died August 17, 1868, who married, April 28, 1858, at Jamaica Plain, Nathan Fred- erick Sears, and had one child, Susie Evelyn ; resides in New York. Mr. Nickerson had three other children who died in infancy. He mar- ried (second) July 19, 1837, Louisa, born in Brewster, Massachusetts, January 26, 1816, daughter of Abraham and Rhoda (Clark) Winslow, her father being in business as a

merchant. Children of second marriage : I. Joseph Francis, born June 8, 1838; died Feb- ruary 23, 1842. 2. Albert W., born May 21, 1840; see sketch. 3. Ann, born 184 -; died 1893. 4.

(VIII) Thomas, son of

NICKERSON David and Priscilla (Snow) Nickerson, was eighth in descent from William Nickerson ( I), and was the youngest of five brothers. Thomas came to Boston, about 1826, seeking his fortune, and in due time became prominent in com- mercial and railroad circles.

After preliminary experience usual in busi- ness life, he formed a partnership with Pliny Nickerson for the ownership and management of vessels, under the firm name of Nickerson & Company, and for thirty years this was one of the best known business houses in Boston, and its fleet at one time was the largest in the United States similarly owned and employed. But anticipating the decline in maritime com- merce that subsequently came, Mr. Nickerson retired from the firm about 1868 to give his attention to railroading, in which he had be- come largely interested, and it was his sub- sequent connection with railroads that most fully illustrated his remarkable business abil- ity. The Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe rail- roa I came into the hands of eastern parties in 1870, and in the fall of the same year Mr. Nickerson was elected one of the trustees of the land grant bonds, and in that capacity, acting with a committee from the board of directors, he reappraised all of the lands which would come to the railroad, and by such re- appraisal saved to the company more than two millions of dollars. In May, 1871, Mr. Nick- erson was elected a director of the Atchison road, and in May, 1873, vice-president. The road had been open for traffic since early in 1873, and à certificate of acceptance had gone to Washington, but except for the first one hundred miles, it was without business or con- nections beyond the western line of the state, with the exception of two feeble stage routes- one to Santa Fe and the other to Pueblo. Dur- ing the year 1872, in order to obtain money, the Atchison Company had been obliged to

give the endorsement of its directors on its paper, and it soon became evident that the interest on its bonds could not be paid at maturity. To avoid a receivership it was pro- posed to get an extension on a part of its cou- pon obligations. Mr. Nickerson was deter- mined that the road should not go into the hands of a receiver, but that the plan of cou- pon extension should be carried through, and with the co-operation of the other directors, by his own promptly efficient management he fin- ally accomplished it, whereupon friends of the road frankly said that this achievement was manifestly for its greatest advantage, and proportionally so for all parties who had enter- ests in western enterprises; and that to Mr. Thomas Nickerson more than to any other one person should be given the credit of its successful accomplishment.

In May, 1874, Mr. Nickerson was elected president, and when he retired five years later, eight hundred miles of track had been laid, and the road was in such fit condition that its first mortgage bonds sold at 120, second mort- gage bonds at par, and the stock at IIO. While Mr. Nickerson was president of the Atchison road he was selected as the man best fitted to harmonize the New York and Boston parties associated in the Atlantic & Pacific road, the directorate of which was made up of repre- sentatives in equal numbers from the Atchi- son and St. Louis and San Francisco com- panies, and thereupon ten million dollars was immediately subscribed and the bonds were marked at a premium.

When the Mexican Central Railway Com- pany was organized to build a line from El Paso to the City of Mexico,-eleven hundred to twelve hundred miles, Mr. Nickerson was unanimously elected president, and served most ably until August 4, 1884.

These enterprises, great as they were, by no means completed the grand total of Mr. Nick- erson's remarkable activities. He was inter- ested in many undertakings in various parts of the country, and was loyal to them all. At the first meeting of the stockholders of the National Bank of North America, Boston, held September II, 1850, he was elected a director; in the spring of 1855 he served on public committee to establish Boston and Euro- pean steamship lines; he helped organize the National Bank of the Republic, Boston, and at the first meeting of subscribers, December 14, 1859, was elected a director ; he was also a director of the American Loan and Trust

Company, Boston, from its beginning in 1881.

Mr. Nickerson resided for many years in Boston, but during the latter years of his life in Newton. He was a member of the Bap- tist church, served as superintendent of the Sunday school, and took a leading part in missionary and benevolent society circles ; he was a liberal giver and contributed largely to missions and home societies. He took an active interest in the Newton Theological Institute, was its treasurer and for many years one of its trustees. He took notice of, but was not active in politics, although at one time a mem- ber from Boston of the legislature and hold- ing other positions of public trust. Personally Mr. Nickerson was of a genial hospitable nature and simple in his tastes, denying his family no comfort or luxury, but extravagance in business displeased him. He had little time for social pleasure, but was fond of company and was a generous host.

He removed to Harwich, Massachusetts, and from thence to Orrington, Maine, about 1800, where in 1803 he was a member of school committee, and also held other public offices there and in Augusta. In Orrington he pur- chased from General John Blake a saw mill, April 14, 1802, for the sum of five hundred dollars. He sold it to Theodore Barstow, June 17, 1805, and was styled a merchant. In May, 1801, he was petitioner for a Masonic Lodge at Hampden, now Rising Virtue Lodge, of Bangor, Maine. About 1809-10 he removed to Readfield. He and his wife were original members of the Congregational church at Brewer, Maine. He was a trusted man of affairs, active and influential, and founded the family in Maine, which worthily represents the forbears from whom he sprang.

(IX) Albert Winslow, sec-

NICKERSON ond son and child of Joseph and Louisa (Winslow) Nickerson, was born in Boston, May 21, 1840, and died in Dedham, Massachusetts, May 17, 1893. He was educated in the public schools of Boston, and after his graduation spent con- siderable time in travel, notably in Africa. Early in his business he entered the employ of his father in the shipping and other inter- ests in which he was engaged. One of the first important matters entrusted to his judg- ment was adjusting the loss of a ship, for which purpose he was sent to England, and the settle- ment of this and the amount of salvage he obtained gave his father so favorable an im- pression of his business qualifications that he shortly afterward admitted him as a junior partner in the firm of Joseph Nickerson & Company. Upon the death of his father he succeeded him as president of the Arlington Mills of Lawrence, Massachusetts, of which he has been a director, and he filled this office creditably and satisfactorily until his own death. He was a director of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, and for several years was chairman of the financial committee, and was a director of the Mexican Central railroad, in which responsible position he dis- played an executive ability to cope with affairs of magnitude and he spared no efforts to ad- vance the interests committed to his care. He was a Republican in politics, but being a man of broad and liberal views he had numerous friends among the Democrats, some of his firmest friends being leading men of both great parties. He was just and honorable in his business dealings, generous and liberal. He was a member of the Episcopal church, of which he was a vestryman. At the time of his death letters and messages were received from far and near, extracts from a few of which are here appended :

"At a meeting of the Vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Dedham, on Friday, June 2nd, 1893, the fol- lowing minute was unanimously adopted:

"In the Providence of God, since the last meeting of the Vestry, the earthiy iife of one of its members, Mr. Albert W. Nickerson, has terminated so sud- denly that we have scarcely begun to realize that he has gone hence and will be no more seen. Though he has but recentiy become a communicant of this Church, and only since our last Easter meet- Ing a member of the Vestry, yet during the time he had identified himself with the Parish, he had man- Ifested such an interest in its affairs, had been so regular and punctual in his attendance upon the services of the Church, and had been such a liberal

giver for their support, that by his death the Parish has sustained a loss which we cannot undertake to estimate. We know, however, that we shall miss a parishioner who had shown so marked an interest in the Church's ways and services, and a Vestryman upon whose counsels and sustaining hand we had hoped to rely much in years to come. To his afflicted widow and children we offer our sincere sympathy, and we pray they may have Divine com- fort in their great affliction."

The following memorial was passed at a meeting of the directors of the Arlington Mills, May 24, 1893 :

"The sudden death of our associate, Albert W. Nickerson, in the prime of his manhood, deprives this corporation of a valuable officer and his asso- ciates in its Board of Directors. of a wise coun- sellor and loyal friend. He had been a Director of this Corporation for over twenty years and was elected its President in 1880 to succeed his father, Joseph Nickerson.

During the whole period of this long official con- nection with the Corporation, he was ever active in furthering its interests, ready and willing at all times to respond to every call made upon him, often at personal sacrifice; and the growth and success of the Arlington Mills are largely due to his counsel and support.

Mr. Nickerson was both sagacious and compre- hensive in business affairs. He combined with these qualities unusual vigor. He was pre-eminently a forceful man and, at the same time, prudent and conservative in action.

We cannot adequately express in words the loss we have sustained by his death, but trust that in some slight measure this memorial will manifest our appreciation of his business capacity, his high character and his personal worth.

We therefore resolve that this memorial be in- scribed on our records and that a copy of it be sent to his family."

Mr. Nickerson married (first) September 20, 1864, Agnes Maria Partridge, who died November 21, 1870. Their children : I.
