29 Jan 1813 - Greenfield, Connecticut, United States David P. Nichols DAVID P NICHOLS Among the more notable men of the city deserves to be mentioned David Philip Nichols who for several years filled the position of State Treasurer with an excellent record Born in Danbury July 7th 1810 he was descended on his mother's side from Josiah Starr one of the founders of the town in 1693 From 1860 he filled important positions in the Legislature Committee on Railroads Committee on New Towns Committee on Finance and other committees directing public affairs He was an alert kindly sanguine man full of interest in everybody's welfare comprehensive of view and open minded He was always ready to entertain new ideas and give hearing to whatever seemed to promise public advantage In early life he was active in church matters but in later days took more interest in secular movements He was always of liberal opinions in every direction having the instincts of a truly modern mind He was a ready forcible and inspiring speaker an entertaining conversationalist a picturesque narrator fond of poetry novels and newspapers skilled in theology and politics with much business ability He died in January 1881 while filling the office of State Treasurer D p463 In Grassy Plain lived Ebenezer Taylor called 'Uncle Neze' father of Joseph Lewis Eleazer Czar and several daughters one of whom married my old friend Almon Price In the same neighborhood lived Amos Wheeler with his mother and sisters Jerusha and Mary also Zadock Starr Jabez and Eliakim Trowbridge Hugh Matthew and George Starr and Levi Benedict My uncle Deacon Peter Barnum resided near by also David P Nichols with his mother and sister In Old Lane between Grassy Plain and Bethel lived Deacon Daniel Hickok a very old deaf man who for several years before his death sat in the pulpit in order to hear the services Noah Hubbell lived in Old Lane and Jabez and Samuel Trowbridge lived at the south end of Grassy Plain Street D p545 Danbury published 1838 First Catholic service held First regular grocery in Danbury by DP Nichols and LS Benedict D p559 . . . the house of Captain Ezra Starr which stood where now is the residence of Mrs DP Nichols corner of Main and Boughton streets. . . D p67 "In connection with the call for more light from our manufactories the efforts which have recently been made to secure a safe and permanent light from lesser expedients in private residences indicates that the Gas Company should commence operations at as early a day as possible that the period between anticipation and reality may be endured with some degree of composure" It will be noted that nothing is said in the above of street lighting as a need of the hour and a source of revenue to the company It is likely the incorporators had this in view but it was three years later before the borough voted to use gas to light the streets The incorporators of the enterprise were Frederick L Wild man George W Ives E 8 Tweedy Henry Benedict Nelson L White George Hull DP Nichols William R White William H Clark Augustus Wildman IW Ives Henry Benedict was chosen president and IW Ives clerk and treasurer The names in italics are those who were made directors In the fall of 1860 twelve street gas lamps were ordered by the borough They were located as follows Corner of North and Main streets corner Franklin and Main corner White and Main corner Main and Liberty north end of the park south end of the park corner Deer Hill and West corner Elm and River corner of Liberty and Railroad Avenue front of the residence of Mrs Botsford now JW Bacon's lower end of gas main on Main equal distance between Elm and Franklin D p168 The general or country stores of that period did all kinds of business from clothing to tinware One of them which was advertised in the Journal was located in Great Plain Does it seem possible that the district had in 1790 a large general store when now it has none of any kind But such was the fact and it is such an unexpected fact that we print what its owners Nichols & Dibble advertised to sell Here is their advertisement in full NICHOLS & DIBBLE Have just received at their store at Great Plain and are now selling exceeding cheap for ready pay the following articles viz Blue bottle green London smoke scarlet and mixt broadcloth Coatings frizes velvets satinets chintzes calicoes wildboars camblers calimanco stuffs baizes flannels shalloons muslin lawn gauze silk handkerchiefs cotton do shawls worsted hose modes sarcenets laces ribbons ostrich feathers silk and twist coat and vest buttons A complete assortment of hardware and crockery rum wine Geneva brown sugar loaf sugar lump sugar tea chocolate raisins allspice pepper indigo snuff alum copperas soap redwood logwood Spanish brown 6x8 glass German steel etc All kinds of country produce will be received in payment and every favor gratefully acknowledged Good rock salt exchanged for flax seed or rye even The above is a sample of the line of grade of goods kept by the merchant in those days But the etc of Nichols & Dibble embraces much more than the casual observer would think It includes shoes confectionery agricultural implements stationery and about everything that now is distributed into a dozen or so of specialties D p174-5 DANBURY SAVINGS BANK Nearly a half century ago when Danbury had no electric lights no pavements no street railway but was a pretty town with grand old trees and beautiful gardens one of her venerated citizens Horace Bull suggested to George W Ives that a savings bank would be a blessing to many of the town people To one so keenly alive to the interests of Danbury and of his fellow citizens the suggestion had but to be made to be acted upon and the Savings Bank of Danbury chartered in 1849 commenced business on June 29th of that year with the following officers and directors Frederick S Wildman President Eh T Hoyt John W Irwin Vice Presidents George W Ives Secretary and Treasurer Directors David P Nichols Lucius P Hoyt Aaron See ley Nathan Seeley Jr Edgar S Tweedy Henry Benedict D p462 History of the hatting trade in Danbury, Conn: From its commencement in 1780 ...

8 Aug 1730 - Bridgehampton, Suffolk, New York, USA Starr Hoyt Nichols Starr Hoyt Nichols the oldest son of David Philip Nichols was born in November 1834 graduated at Yale College in 1854 travelled in Europe for a couple of years and returning entered the Congregational ministry in 1860 Always of delicate health he still made a striking impression as a preacher during the six years of his ministry Being however laid on the shelf from ill health he devoted his leisure to letters and published a poem entitled Monte Rosa in the year 1881 which received great praise from the critics It was perhaps too serious to become popular and too much occupied with nature to excite enthusiasm but it had wide scope and appealed to a select audience with great force The following extracts from this poem descriptive of the deep foundation of Monte Rosa its grandeur and a glorious sunset crowning its summit will be found enjoyable reading Beneath the ponderous mountain pillar sinks Its shaft and adamantine strength far down Beyond the glimpse of ever prying sun Night piercing moon or eye of watchful star Beyond discovered reaches of the mine Beyond the oozy gorge of ocean's floor To Pluto's murky cave and realm of fear Where prisoned earthquakes shake their hideous bars And young volcanoes bubble gruesomely There rests the Mount its vast foundations braced On that colossal arch whose soaring span O ervaults the muttering lakes of central fire The flux and fume of windless inner seas And molten bays still vexed incessantly Italian skies of deep untroubled blue Thrice dyed bind close their sapphire coronet To Monte Rosa's alabaster brow The climates runaways from guardian months Race up and down her sides capriciously Like truant children whiling out the time The gypsy clouds a loitering mid the hills Strolling adventurers from the teeming sea Rehearse their shows before her and discourse Their evanescent pomp to her eternity Now pitch their roving tents on her large slopes Now flutter arrowy streamers from her tip Pennons of coasting tempests still mast down The low horizon now storm turbans furl About her brow then lifting climb the cope Of careless heaven to jeer her envious heights With higher cliffs of fog or drooping low In long pavilions stretch their lazy folds Soft canopies above her lily head Neath which she seems to He reclined at ease Some stately daughter to a sceptred king Head leaned on hand in summer indolence And large fair limbs outstretched at length half clad Half bare while lights and shadows changefully Like furtive smiles from sleepy eyelids shed Play o er her fields of snow and reveries faint Steal through her thoughtful heart in silentness Heedless as love of time and what time brings And pure as Dian walking heaven alone Pensive as fabled fields of asphodel Lay all the primrose upland faint with sleep A garden of Hesperldes whose close The gold haired daughters of the kingly Sun Kept carefully where fear nor night nor death Could come nor winter fall for all its snows But where the palm might lift its plumy fronds The peacock burn the slim gazelles find rest And all rare things the gleaming hollows hold When sank the sun and saffron grew to pink Upon the flushing snow till spire and dome And every silver valley filled with fire And like a heavenly rose upon the sky The well named Rosa blossomed full and large And flung her blushes to the eastern clouds Above the ashen earth and strewed the heavens With more than countless roses loveliness D p347-8
