1William Nicklas Obituary, unknown newspaper, Personal files of Dianne Z. Stevens, 1301 Reetz Road, Madison, WI 53711. "WILLIAM NICKLAS
William Nicklas was born Feb. 9, 1846 in the state of Illinois and died Nov. 18, 1927 in his Charles City home, of old age and other complications. When quite young he moved to Wisconsin and in the early '70s came to Ulster township, Floyd county, Iowa settling upon a homestead which he improved and built up. He went through the experiences of the pioneers and early settlers, but by hard labor economic living forged ahead and accomplished something in life. At an ealy age in his Wisconsin home he came to the Methodist church, was soundly converted, joined the German Methodist church. For many years he was a member of the West St. Charles Methodist Episcopal church and when the family moved to Charles City he united with the Central Methodist Episcopal church. He loved the church of his choice, he was a regular attendant upon the means of grace, and was present at the services and prayer meetings when his strength and health permitted. He loved to talk about spiritual things and was very appreciative, when we prayed with him, and read from the word of God. His faith was very real to him, and as his strength declined his faith and longing for the heavenly home increased. He was a considerate husband and father and much interested in the well being of his family.
September 21, 1876 he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Schlick, who preceeded him to that heavenly home, March 18, 1927. This union was blessed with seven children, of whom six are living, Laura having passed on in 1906. He leaves to mourn his demise, two sons and four daughters - Mrs. J.F. Greenzweig, of Charles City; Will, of Red Lake, New Mexico; Mrs. B. A. Berry, of Nashua; Miss Vera, of Rock Springs, Wyoming; Carl in the Knoxville hospital; Mrs. S. A. Driskill of Oklahoma City; five grandchildren and one great grandson.
Funeral services were held Monday, Nov. 20, 1927 from the Central Methodist Episcopal church, in charge of the pastor Wesley F. Belling, assisted by Rev. J. H. Klaus, Rev. L. J. Brenner, Rev. B. A. Wendlandt. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.".2Sophia Nicklas Driskill, Nicklas Family History, copied & dispersed by the author, Yukon, OK 6/18/1986, Personal files of Dianne Z.

Dear Helen
I enjoyed hearing from you. Glad you are interested in working on the Nicklas Family tree. I have tried to help some. I'm mailing some of my information I received. A lot of it is duplication but it may help clear some points on previous papers. We are so scattered. My nephew and I are the last close relatives. He is my brother's son.
Sorry I could not get Uncle Peter's wife's maiden name. She was born out of wedlock, a very nice, small, nervous lady. She was a lovely seamstress and very neat. She and uncle spent a winter with us so I got to know them quite well. She was a goose herder in Germany. I saw an article in Magazine aobout the German goose herders. It was considered a very good job.
Our grandparents visited my parents in Iowa and gave mother a lot of information about themselves. Maybe I should not give you this informationbut I thought you would like to know it.
Too bad our grandparents were cousins. There were 6 mental cases and 2 suicides. Many teachers and doctors. Evelyn spent the winter with us at the time. She was a wonderful seamstress also. They lived with grandparents quite a while. They are buried in Jamestown without a marker. Father often said he would like to place a marker but no one seemed interested. Uncle (Peter) was a very poor businessman. She made a living by sewing.
I don't know how much you know about the Nicklas family. My father spoke very little about them. They left quite a sum of money to the children in the will. Our cousin found the will in a trunk.
I hope this has not tired you and wish you. Good luck.
Love, Sophie Driskill.".

Dear Cousin-
I received your letter asking for information about the Nicklas Tree. I sent most of my information to Geo. Kreuty Jr. in Houston, Texas. I'll send what I have as can remember. I was so glad to be with your mother last winter. I enjoyed her so much. I hear from Dorothy at Christmas. This is a rainy day, but we are glad for the rain. We have a lot of bulbs up; tulips, Jonquils, and hyacinths- My husband just came home from the hospital. He was there three days, but could not find any real reason for his trouble. I heard your mother speak of you and your sister-in-law, We did not go to the valley. I'm glad now we didn't. I lost my only sister Jan. 10 in Nashua, Iowa. Guess Phillip & Ezra are enjoying the Texas winter.Hope this information will be of some help.

Letter C
Dear Dianne
I received your letter today. I opened George's letter. I thought I may be more able to answer questions than he.
1. No one knows what place in Germany they were born.They were married in Penn. No one knows the town. They went to Illinois, Monroe County, where the children were born. They went to Grant Co. Wis. (Georgetown>) We do not know the date of Peter's death. I think Peter lived with his parents and later moved to Platteville, Wis. I do not know Harriet's last name. She was born in Germany and was a "Goose Herder."
I don't think Geo. Kreutz knows too much about the family. His son is getting the information. I'll forward your letter to George.
My father never told anything aobut his folks. I got some from my mother. They use to visit them & John Nicklas gave the most to us. Geo. Kreutz Jr. is my 2nd cousin, your 3rd.
Love, Sophie

Dear Dianne
I received your letter and be glad to answer your questions. I'm enclosing the picture of cousin I said was retarded. He could not learn in school but ran his father's farm 10 years with help, runs a car, but not very responsible. Please return his picture. Married and divorced.
This is another lonely day. I'm trying so hard to adjust, but it is so hard. Arthur was such a wonderful husband and companion for 56 years. We were SO happy. I know he is better off and with the Lord. Prayers and friends are a great help, but my life will never be the same.
Back to the family tree. My sister Vera was a Deaconess in Meth. church 25 years. My brother Earl was WWI vet. He died in Vet hosp.
Both became mentally ill at 65. Drs. called it Paralona schizophrenia. Clarence and Blanche were my sister's children. They also became ill at 65 and lived about 3 yrs. I'm pleased you are working on Family Tree.
Love, Sophia Driskill
John Geo. Nicklass & Anna Beitch were born in Germany, met in Penn. and married. They went to Monroe County, Ill where children were born. Moved to Georgetown Wis. (Grant County) where they lived until death. Jack, John, & Peter were in Civil War. Jack & John got T.B. and died shortly after.
Hope this will be some help.

Dear Cousins -
Did you get the material about Nicklas Family Tree? I'm going to send some more material.It may be a duplicate of some of the material, but it may help. I hope your daughter is doing OK on it. It is quite a job. I have been working on it for nearly a year. We are so scattered. It takes time to get the information.
I have been looking for Geo. Kreutz, Jr. He lived in Houston and retired and moved to an acreage in Ark. He said he was coming, but was getting a check up first. Dr. found cancer of the prostate, but he thought it was under control. He is such a fine young man. I'm afraid his report wasn't good. One of Lenn Kreutz Hallett's granddaughters lives here in Yukon. Her parents visited us a year ago. Her grandmother was Aunt Caroline Nicklas Kreutz, my father's sister. I guess Phillip will soon be back to the valley. They enjoy their travels. I enjoy their Christmas letter. How is Dorthea?

Dear Cousins -
I I finally got as much information as I could for Nicklas Family Tree. It has really been a task. I've worked on it nearly a year. I still don't have all the names. I'm enclosing some pages with information that may help. Some were so slow in answering. Hope your daughter can make use of this material. Some of the White's isn't finished and you may know some others. Do you remember the Kreutz family? She was father's youngest sister, Carolyn. Uncle John, her brother, married her (Carolyn's) husband's sister, Amelia Kreutz. I had a letter from Geo Kreutz III. He has worked as a deputy in Houston and retired and bought an acre in Ark. He is such a fine man and has such a nice family. We visited him while were in the valley. One of his sons is a lawyer and other a journalist. I hope this family tree is finished so I can see it before I go. I'm 88 now. Geo III will visit us in Aug. One of the Kreutz granddaughters lives here. She is Lena Hallett's son. Hope this will be of some help. I'll be anxious to hear from you. I'm so glad I saw you in the valley. Send me a copy if you have more names.
Love, Sophia & Arthur
Letter G- Feb 1982 - in response to the question "Who were the 5 mental cases and the one retarded that you mention?"
The 5 mental cases in the Nicklas family tree were:
Vera and Earl Nicklas, children of William and Emma Nicklas
Clarence and Blanche Leaman, children of Albert and Laura Leaman
Dwight E. Werk, son of Seranus and Beatrice Werk. I would rather they did not want his case history.
We have a wonderful cousin living here (Yukon.) Her grandmother was father's sister, Carolyn Kreutz. Lena Hallett's granddaughter lives here. Harold & Sherril Puffett - ch. Steven & Jeri Ann. Lena is daughter of Carolyn Kreutz.

Dear Cousin,
I received your letter. Your question, Aug. Werk's first wife was Lydia VonBerg. She died with T.B. He married her cousin Wilhemina Nicklas (John Nicklas - father's brother John) 2 children from Lydia and 2 from second wife. Hope this clears your problem. I'm so glad you are working on Nicklas Family Tree.
Father did not talk about his parents (John George Nicklas & Anna Catherine Betsch). I got most (of my information) from John Nicklas, Jr. My sister said something once about wishing to know about them. Our cousin Eva Nicklas said, "You would NOT want to KNOW about them." I often wondered WHY? I only know they were first cousins.
Hope this helps. I, too, wish you could visit me. I'm so lonely.
Love, Sophie Driskill.".

Dear Cousin
You will be surprised to hear from me. I have written Helen many times asking for some information about some relatives, but she has never answered.
I'm still working the Nicklas family history. I've been working on it for several years. I have all information now except I need our cousin's wife (Betty Nicklas, her husband was Richard Nicklas. He was only son of Dr. Geo., whose father was Peter Nicklas, Helen's grandfather. Richard has 2 sons. He has been dead many years ago with a blood disease (leukemia). He was a woodwork teacher in a college. He had retired and had a shop of his own in Loveland, Colo. I would like to hear from his wife or boys. Do you think you could help me? Richard Nicklas would be Helen's 1st cousin.
We have a cousin living here, Shirley Puffett. She is such a nice person. She visits me every Sat. Her father was Arthur Hallett. His mother Lena Kreutz and grandparents Geo.Kreutz and Caroline Nicklas, my father's sister. My father's name was William Nicklas. I'm his youngest daughter. There were 7 in our family. I'm youngest and only one living. I'm the only one of close Nicklas family left. I'm 94 years and I'm only one to be able to give this information. I won't be here for too long. I sent you the information you wanted. Have you been able to work on it?
I also need Uncle Peter's wife's maiden name. She was Harriet _____. That is why I'm anxious to get ion touch with Richard Nicklas wife or family.
I always enjoy Phillips Christmas letter. Guess they quit traveling. Wewere with them in the Valley. I was so glad to meet and be with Helen there.
I lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago. I live in an apt. My daughter lives here. Also my husband's 2 sisters. I'm very comfortable.
We have had nice summer. I still garden with help. Lots of flowers & tomatoes.
If you would help me I would be happy.

Dear Cousin Dianne
It was good to hear from you. Sorry you could not answer my questions. I only wish Eva Nicklas (b.. 1866) was still here so she could give me this information.
Do you think Helen's sister Dorothy could help me? I know she has fallen and been in a hosp. and lives in a nursing home. We used to write quite often, but she hasn't written for some time. I surely would like to know about Richard Nicklas family.
Congratulations on your new son. My 2 daughters - Ramah Miller 27 May 1913, NormahMiller 23 Jan 1915. They married brothers.
We are having niceweather, some hot days but good rains. I enjoy my garden flowers andvegetables. I get lots of help here or I would have to quit. I enjoy living here in an apartment in Teachers Retirement Home. Everyone so kind and helpful. Would you mind writing Dorothy and see if we can get this information. I just discovered I don't have her new address. Has Philip moved to new location?

We are having delightful autumn weather 70 degrees - no frost so far. I'm still picking roses etc. I finally get Richard Nicklas' address. My granddaughter in Greeley, Colo. looked in phone book in Denver and found Richard's son Theodore. His wife answered. She said Richard and Betty died 1961 & 1977. Richard had 2 sons; Theodore & Richard. Theodore has three children. He is an atty. Richard Jr. not married. I have his address so I'll write for more information. I'm so glad to know His address. Richard Nicklas was Helen's 1st cousin.
Has Phillip & Ezra moved from the valley? I visited them in Kansas.
Time goes so fast. It will soon be Thanksgiving and Christmas. One of my daughters will give us a Thanksgiving dinner. (18) We will all fly to Dallas for Christmas at Ramah's son Dick. (grandson)
I enjoyed Helen and Phillip so much in the Valley.
I know you are enjoying your family in Wis. I have been to Madison several times. My sister lived there.
I have just returned from dinner. Three meals are served here. This is such a nice place for me. I would not live anywhere else, especially since my husband died 2 yrs. ago. Everyone so kind & helpful.

Dear Cousins -
I'm anxious to know if your 14 year old daughter is well again after that car accident. I HOPE she has recovered.
I've been trying to get Uncle Peter's wife's maiden name. No one would help me, so I wrote to the court house and received the information. I'm so happy about it. Uncle Peter was your mother's grandfather, and my father's brother. I had a copy made for you. I wrote again for more information. I know this the right couple because Uncle Peter's middle name was Franklin and his wife has a German name. Guess he was 20 when married. We always called his wife Harriet. One of her middle initials is H. Guess we went by Harriet.
I wrote you I got hold of Richard, Uncle Peter's only child. He and wife Betty have been gone several years. Richard had two sons - Theodore & Richard. Richard never married. Theodore in an Atty and has three children,Annette, Sharon & Robert. Richard wife, Betty Grimes. He lived in Loveland Colo. and now in Arnada, Colo.
Theodore's wife Katherine Stevenson. I've written her twice, but no answer. My granddaughter lives in Colo. She gotthis information for me.
I had a nice letter from Ezra & Phillip.
I'm doing quite well for 94.

Did I send you the copy of Uncle Peter's wedding? It has a lot I can use.
We are having a lot of rain. I have so many flowers, roses, lilies, etc.
I'm sending a picture of my husband and myself. It was taken in 1980. The last picture of my husband. he died Jan. 7, 1982. It is a lonely life without him. He was such a wonderful companion for over 50 yrs. Our 2 girls are such a help and comfort.
I'm anxious to know if your daughter is still improving?
Sorry to hear about Helen's broken ankle.
You are the only cousin who seems interested in the Nicklas family history. I'm so glad you are so helpful.
It sounds like you have a nice family. I hope you both enjoy them.

Letter P (Jun 1985)
Dear Cousins -
I always enjoy your letters. Sorry your daughter is still in hospital but thankful she is making some improvements. Hope she will continue. I'm mailing a copy of Peter Nicklas marriage. I wrote to many for Aunt Harriet's maiden name but no luck so I told you I wrote to his court house and got RESULTS! Uncle Peter was my father William's oldest brother. I tried to get his wife's name. Uncle Peter & Aunt Harriet had three children. Dr. Geo. married Carrie Straw. (His) son (had) grandson Richard. Evelyn (single), and Ade - Wesley White. She had 4 children, Wilbur (died T.B. in south, Dorothy (single) and Helen with 2 children; Paul & Diana, Lois - Tony ? (need children's names)
I had a hard time getting Richard's address. My granddaughter in Greeley got Richards & Theodore son's wife - Katherine Stevenson. They have 3 children; Annette J., Sharon L., Robert W. Richard's other son, Richard, (single) lives in Ft. Collins, Colo.
I had a nice letter from Phillip & Ezra. Her maiden name was Ezra Grimes. They have 2 adopted children - Dorothy Nell Wilson (Calif) Bruce - Brownsville, Texas.
