hymns. Her father, my Uncle George, always was delighted in hearing her and I
sing and play. She taught school for a few years, then married a young man from
Jefferson County by the name of Emmert Bryan. When World War I came along
he and Ruby went to Virginia where he worked as a ship builder until the war
was over. He later returned to Morrison, Tennessee where he worked as a cabinet
maker. Ruby died in 1925 and is buried at Wesley’s Chapel in Jefferson County.
Ruby left three small children, namely, Jack, Lena Maud and Robert. Emmert,
after trying to keep his little family together, in a few years after Ruby’s death
married a lady by the name of Kate Nottingham, re-establishing his little home
again. Emmett and Kate have one daughter of their own. Her name is Bonnie Joe.
Jack, the oldest child of Emmett and Ruby Cox Bryan, is a great fellow and I
could write much about him. I will put this incident in. His grandmother, my
Aunt Loretta Nichols Cox, came to visit me in Cleveland, Ohio, about 1939,
Jack slipped away from home and -hitch-hiked to Cleveland from Tennessee, about
three weèks after his grandmother came to visit us. He found employment here in
Cleveland, Ohio, and worked until the beginning of World War II. He immedi-
ately enlisted in the United States Navy and spent five years serving his country
with a fine record. I personally am very proud of Jack. He married a girl by
the name of Florence Brown. They have four children, namely, Joseph W., James,
Phillip T. and Jackie S.
Lena Maud, second child of Emmert and Ruby Cox Bryan, is typical in stature
of the Nichols women folk, small and petite and eyes which are so typical of the
Nichols women folk. She married L. C. Truan, Jr. They have three children,
namely, Nancy, Charles and Martha.
Robert, third child of Emmert and Ruby Cox Bryan, is a fine young man. He
served in the United States Marine Corps in World War II with a fine record.
He is now employed as an accountant by a firm located in Knoxville, Tenn. He
married Ruth Peters from Oakridge, Tenn. They have three children, namely
Jerry, Darrel and Priscilla.
Robert McKinley Cox, youngest son of George and Loretta Nichols Cox. I do
not know too much about Robert as I left Tennessee and was in the north all
during his childhood and young manhood. I would see him along with the others
when I visited there. My son Wyatt McKinley Nichols, Jr. and Robert resembled
each other very much in looks as they were both fair and carried their baby faces
even after they were young men. Robert farmed with his folks and was very
quiet and never had too much to say. His untimely death as a young man was a
shock to all of us and he is buried at Wesley’s Chapel where the rest of his
immediate family is buried.
ROBERT RUSSELL WYATT NICHOLS
(MY FATHER)
Robert Russell Wyatt Nichols was born in Sevierville, Term., Oct. 12, l872,
second child of John and Martha (Reneau) Nichols. When just a babe in arms
his mother took him and his older sister Loretta to Missouri where their father
had gone to work, a short time previously. There were other Nichols’ in that
Missouri Area. However, the climate and the chills affected his mother and older
sister so badly they had to return to Tennessee, when my father was still very small.
My father attended the local schools in and around the Sandy Ridge and
Muddy Creek Area and while attending the school that was taught by one of my

hymns. Her father, my Uncle George, always was delighted in hearing her and I
sing and play. She taught school for a few years, then married a young man from
Jefferson County by the name of Emmert Bryan. When World War I came along
he and Ruby went to Virginia where he worked as a ship builder until the war
was over. He later returned to Morrison, Tennessee where he worked as a cabinet
maker. Ruby died in 1925 and is buried at Wesley’s Chapel in Jefferson County.
Ruby left three small children, namely, Jack, Lena Maud and Robert. Emmert,
after trying to keep his little family together, in a few years after Ruby’s death
married a lady by the name of Kate Nottingham, re-establishing his little home
again. Emmett and Kate have one daughter of their own. Her name is Bonnie Joe.
Jack, the oldest child of Emmett and Ruby Cox Bryan, is a great fellow and I
could write much about him. I will put this incident in. His grandmother, my
Aunt Loretta Nichols Cox, came to visit me in Cleveland, Ohio, about 1939,
Jack slipped away from home and -hitch-hiked to Cleveland from Tennessee, about
three weèks after his grandmother came to visit us. He found employment here in
Cleveland, Ohio, and worked until the beginning of World War II. He immedi-
ately enlisted in the United States Navy and spent five years serving his country
with a fine record. I personally am very proud of Jack. He married a girl by
the name of Florence Brown. They have four children, namely, Joseph W., James,
Phillip T. and Jackie S.
Lena Maud, second child of Emmert and Ruby Cox Bryan, is typical in stature
of the Nichols women folk, small and petite and eyes which are so typical of the
Nichols women folk. She married L. C. Truan, Jr. They have three children,
namely, Nancy, Charles and Martha.
Robert, third child of Emmert and Ruby Cox Bryan, is a fine young man. He
served in the United States Marine Corps in World War II with a fine record.
He is now employed as an accountant by a firm located in Knoxville, Tenn. He
married Ruth Peters from Oakridge, Tenn. They have three children, namely
Jerry, Darrel and Priscilla.
Robert McKinley Cox, youngest son of George and Loretta Nichols Cox. I do
not know too much about Robert as I left Tennessee and was in the north all
during his childhood and young manhood. I would see him along with the others
when I visited there. My son Wyatt McKinley Nichols, Jr. and Robert resembled
each other very much in looks as they were both fair and carried their baby faces
even after they were young men. Robert farmed with his folks and was very
quiet and never had too much to say. His untimely death as a young man was a
shock to all of us and he is buried at Wesley’s Chapel where the rest of his
immediate family is buried.
ROBERT RUSSELL WYATT NICHOLS
(MY FATHER)
Robert Russell Wyatt Nichols was born in Sevierville, Term., Oct. 12, l872,
second child of John and Martha (Reneau) Nichols. When just a babe in arms
his mother took him and his older sister Loretta to Missouri where their father
had gone to work, a short time previously. There were other Nichols’ in that
Missouri Area. However, the climate and the chills affected his mother and older
sister so badly they had to return to Tennessee, when my father was still very small.
My father attended the local schools in and around the Sandy Ridge and
Muddy Creek Area and while attending the school that was taught by one of my
