Subject: [CODENVER] Senator Samuel D. NICHOLSON; 1920

Looking for information re Senator Samuel Danford NICHOLSON (b. February
22, 1859 in Prince Edward Island) who was in Leadville in 1898. I found
this in the death notice for my wife's g grandfather, John MacKenzie Jul
28th,1898 in Leadville.
"The funeral of Mr. John MacKenzie took place yesterday from the residence
of Mr. Samuel D. Nicholson. Rev. A. Grant Evans officiating and was very
largely attended. Among others, the Messrs. MacKenzie from Victor and Mr.
Murt. Nicholson from Lake City were present. . . "

There is an implied comment in the article that one of Samuel - or "Murt."
- was a nephew of John MacKenzie.

I have since found a Samuel D. Nicholson who became a United States Senator
from Colorado from 1920 to 1923. He died on March 24, 1923.

I would very much like to establish who the parents were of Samuel.
