| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ October 9, 1959 Funeral Services Held Monday for Harry C. Nicholls Final rites were held at 10 o’clock Monday morning of this week for Harry C. Nicholls of Salome, formerly of Wickenburg, who passed away October 1 at the Crenshaw Hospital in Los Angeles. His death was due to cancer. He had been in ill health for two and one-half years. Monday morning’s services were conducted by Dr. Charles S. Poling of the First Presbyterian Church at the Wickenburg Chapel. Burial followed in the Wickenburg Cemetery. Mr. Nicholls was well known to many residents of Wickenburg where he owned and operated a garage and later a restaurant on the California Highway from 1946 until 1948. He came here in 1946 from Highland Park, Ill., where he had been in the automobile repair business since he was a boy in high school. He was born October 10, 1892, in Chicago. Mr. Nicholls’ first venture here was the construction of a garage on the California Highway which is today a portion of Charley’s Market. After disposing of that building to the late V. P. Adams, Mr. Nicholls bought property across the highway and built an automobile repair shop which he later converted into a restaurant. It is today known as the Old Corral. Upon selling his restaurant here in 1948, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholls moved to Bouse, Ariz., where they built a restaurant and later a motel. They sold that property in 1955 and went to Salome where they built the Circle N. Motel on the east edge of town and an adjoining residence. Surviving are the widow, Grace; a daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Alonge of Desplaines, Ill., and two sisters, Mrs. Helen Hines of Glenview, Ill., and Mrs. Rose Cooper of Dallas, Tex. Three grandchildren also survive. See Also: Find A Grave |
