General Notes and Information:
Recent contact with a descendant of this family confirms parentage of William Nuckolls and Maria Williams. I will need to review the 1830 and 1840 census records for children ages. It seems both of the parents died and James went to live with his sister. (her name not known) See Dec 2010 newsletter for full details.

Newark Journal, March 14, 1913 - MAUDE LANEER NUCKOLLS-The Death of Litt le Maud "She took the cup of life to sip, Too bitter twas to drain, S he put it meekly from her lip, And went to sleep again." On the 28th d ay of March 1901, there was born to I. C. and Sarah Nuckolls a beautiful l ittle girl. The named her Maudie Laneer. She was a lovely child, b ut on the 11th day of February 1913, He who give her called her home. " It was not in cruelty, It was not in wrath, The Reaper came that da y, But an Angel visited the earth And took this flower away." Litte Ma ud while only in her 12th year had many relatives and friends who follow ed her in sorrow to her litte grave in Hopewell cemetery, where we left h er to rest in peace until the resurrection morn. "Out in the silent cit y, Where many loved ones sleep, Out where the moonbeams glitter, On s tones by grassy heap, Where songbirds sing in gladness, From their co ol and shady bowers. Where Southwinds sigh in sadness, And dark clou ds weep in showers; There little Maud is sleeping, The sleep of the sil ent blest, Whilse God her soul is keeping, In the home of endless rest ." Written by her uncle, J. L. Brown
