John Nicholls1

M, #857, b. 16 July 1841, d. 26 October 1908
Birth*16 July 1841 John Nicholls was born on 16 July 1841 at Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales.2,3,4 
Occupation*between 1884 and 1886 He was the sheriff between 1884 and 1886 at Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado.5 
Occupation1886 He was the president at Jefferson City Bank, Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado, in 1886.5 
Occupation1890  In 1890 John Nicholls was the mayor at Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado.5 
Marriage*25 February 1891 He married Clara York, daughter of George Backhouse York and Ellen Halfpenny, on 25 February 1891 at Golden, Jefferson County, Colorado.6,7 
Anecdote*1898 J0HN NICHOLLS, Sr., has held a number of important public positions, among them those of sheriff and commissioner of Jefferson County, chairman of the county central committee, mayor of Golden, and is at present a justice of the peace for Jefferson County and a member of the state silver Republican committee. He resides in Golden and has the distinction of occupying the first house built here, a building constructed of logs, which has been thoroughly remodeled so as to give it a modern appearance. Possessing considerable inventive genius, he has invented, among other things, a number of improvements for mining carriages, and an incubator, which he has manufactured under the name of the Atlantic incubator, also a spring seat for the use of engineers and firemen on locomotives.

Mr. Nicholls was born in Cardiganshire, Wales, July 16, 1842, the next to the oldest of his father's twenty-eight children. He has a sister, Mrs. Spear, in Blackhawk, Colo; a brother, William, in Denver, and another sister, Mrs. Emma Triscot, in New Jersey. His father, John, was the sou of Samuel Nicholls, who engaged in mining in Wales for Taylor & Co., of Loudon. He was born in Devonshire, England, but during most of his life was superintendent of mines in Wales, from there returning to Devonshire, then going back to Wales he subsequently died there at the age of fifty-six, in 1876. His first wife, our subject's mother, was Mary Ann Colmer, a native of Devonshire and daughter of Thomas Colmer, a mining engineer of England. She died in England at the age of thirty-eight.

When two years of age our subject was taken to England and at the age of eight he began to assist his father in the mines of Devonshire. After some years of experience he became a practical miner in tin, copper and lead mines. In 1859 he went to Carmarthaenshire, Wales, where he worked in the Vale of Towan lead mine. A year later he went to the Cardiganshire lead mines, where he was employed as timberman for some years. In 1865 he took passage on the steamer "Marathon" at Liverpool, and after a voyage of sixteen and one-half days landed in New York City, from which place he went to Wilkesbarre, Pa. He secured work in the mines of Luzerne County, and for eight years was foreman of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company in the Henry and Prospect mines. This position he resigned in 1873, on coming to Colorado. He arrived in Golden on Sunday morning, April 6, 1S73, and has since considered this place his home. He leased one mine and opened several others near Golden, and for some years engaged in mining coal, which he shipped to Denver and to Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties, also supplying railroads on contract. He is the only man who ever worked the coal mines here successfully. In 1885 he sold out to a Philadelphia company, and was superintendent of coal mines at Tindale for years for a Loudon company. In 1880 he started a boot and shoe store, which he has since conducted, in addition to his work in the mines. He is president and a director of the Golden Opera House Company, which conducts the opera house here.)

The first marriage of Mr. Nicholls united him with Margaret Edwards, who was born, reared and married in Wales, and died in Golden. Of the children born of this union three are living: Mary A., Mrs. Preston, of Elizabethtown, N. Mex; John, Jr., who is in the tobacco and cigars business at Golden; and Emma, who is in New Mexico. The present wife of Mr. Nicholls was Clara York, a native of Pennsylvania, and three children have been born unto them: Foster George, Clarence Silver and Stella May.

During the early days of his residence here, Mr. Nicholls was appointed night marshal and deputy sheriff, and the latter office he held for two terms. In 1880 he was elected county commissioner, and served from January, 1881, until 1884, being chairman of the board the last year of his service. In the fall of 1883 he was elected sheriff on the Republican ticket by a good majority and took the oath of office in January, 1884, for a term of two years. At the expiration of the time he was re-elected, serving until 1888. Since then he has served for two terms as mayor of Golden and has been a member of the board of aldermen for two terms. He is a firm friend of the silver cause and adheres to the silver wing of the Republican party. Fraternally he is connected with Golden Lodge No. 10, A. F. & A. M., in which he was made a mason; the Knights of Pythias, in which order he is past chancellor; and the Odd Fellows' lodge, in which he is past grand and which he has represented in the grand lodge; he is also a member of the encampment.4 
Anecdote*1898 According to a letter written by Elizabeth York in 1898, Clara's husband was an older man who lost $25,000 when a Golden bank failed that year. They (or he before marrying Clara) had a lot of children.8
