EDWARD S. NICHOLSON
Medicine Hat, Alberta
Death of E. S. Nicholson
TORONTO, ONT., Jan. 10.—The death of Edward S. Nicholson, jeweler of Medicine Hat, Alberta, at the age of 44 years, occurred on Jan. 4.
He was a native of Carlisle, England, and came to Canada when quite young. Mr. Nicholson engaged in the jewelry business and after being for some years with W. W. Munn in Toronto conducted a store at Guelph, Ont.
When the war broke out he went overseas with an artillery corps, and saw active service. The jeweler was twice gassed, from the effects of which he never fully recovered, and which probably hastened his death.
After the Armistice Mr. Nicholson went to Medicine Hat and opened the business in which he was engaged up to the time of his death.
Deceased is survived by his widow. The remains were brought to Toronto for interment.
