History
11
Born about 1805, Rowland Nichols settled in Kerr County, where he served as county commissioner. After his death at the hands of Indians, he was buried as he wished under a live oak tree on his farm on April 11, 1859. The site became a community burial ground and the burial place of many area pioneers, including J. C. W. Ingram (1829-1902), for whom the town of Ingram was named. Additional property was later purchased from Lafayette Nichols to enlarge the cemetery. For over a century, Nichols Cemetery has served the residents of this part of Kerr County.
