His patronage has been steady and lucrative from the beginning, and the able manner in which he handles legal work has drawn a high class of such business to him. His inherited and developed talent for the profession, and his accomplishments in special cases, entitle him to a place among the most skill- ful lawyers of his day in his section.

Mrs. Nickerson was associated with the Methodist Church from an early age, and to the close of her life continued to be a regular at- tendant at church services and a zealous church worker. She was prominently identified with the Women's Aid Society connected with the Mary M. Packer hospital, for a number of years, and was also deeply interested in the Young Women's Christian Association, toward the maintenance of which in Sunbury she contributed liberally. Broad and charitable in her views, she was always ready and willing to help any good cause, or to relieve cases of necessity at any time, but she was as un- ostentatious about such matters as she was generous and sympathetic, and never needed the stimulus of publicity to encourage her in good works. Her name will long be cherished in the hearts of many whom she aided and comforted in the hour of need.
