Nicholas, Lois Elaine (Booze), daughter of Curtis and Elta Booze, was born August 14, 1916, and passed away July 25, 1939, at the home of her mother, Mrs Elta Booze, the same home in which she was born 22 years, 11 months and 11 days ago. In this community she was educated and grew to womanhood and at about 14 years of age united with the Baptist church of Hopkins.

On December 9, 1936, she was united in marriage to Mr Lloyd Nicholas of near Tarkio, Mo.

Her life, though brief, was like a beautiful flower, full of beauty and purity, leaving a lasting fragrance of love in the memory of her many friends.

During her long illness she was taken to the St Francis hospital at Maryville, Mo, where her relatives and friends freely gave of their own blood to save her life. She was also taken to Iowa University hospital at Iowa City, but all human help failed to save her. Her devoted husband was with her constantly, also her mother and sister as much of the time as posssible, during her suffering which she patiently bore, always trying to smile for the sake of those who loved her.

She leaves to mourn her going, her loving husband and mother, two sisters, Mrs Inez Melvin and Miss Virginia Booze of Clearmont, Mo, one brother, Herman Booze of Beardstown, Ill, two nephews, Orville and Billy Melvin, two nieces, Phylis and Evelyn Melvin, besides many relatives and friends, her father and brother, Earl, preceded her in death.

Her aged grandmother, Mrs America Booze, who was cared for in the same home, passed away recently.

Funeral services were held in the Baptist church at Hopkins and burial in the Hopkins cemetery. Rev Harley T. Busby officiating. Mrs E.H. Ulmer and Miss Frances Traster furnished the music accompanied by Mrs Lester Shell at the piano. The pallbearers were Gerald Browning, Delbert Browning, Robert Chesnut, Harold Ingram, Welton Wallace and George Cheshire.
