Married George William Nicholson on November 13, 1878 in Remington, Jasper County, Indiana.
George and Dora had eight children; Charles Schuyler, Bessie, Glen V., Elnora Nicholson Michaels, Alma Nicholson Davidson, Baby Boy, Ruby Mary Nicholson Ewart and Lottie Mae Nicholson Davis.
The Nicholson's lived in Indiana and raised race horses and were living quite nicely when they were told of the wonders of Wyoming. They came by immigrant train to Germania Bench (Emblem). Their oldest son Charles rode the train with the livestock, to tend them. George's brother Frank and his wife Eva (Dora's sister) and son Ray came with them. They spent the first night on Dry Creek in the snow. It snowed so much that the tent fell in on them. The children attended school in the front room of Mrs. Pries's living room.
When they got to Emblem they lived next to a blacksmith shop which also served as their home. She was a wet nurse for Smokey Grabbert because his Mother was so sick she could not take care of him. Their farm in Burlington was a two room building and the ground was covered with sagebrush. Lottie remembers her mother going out and chopping down the sagebrush and throwing it into piles which she burned. Dora made Lottie stay in the house by herself so she would'n get hurt. She remembers being very scared, as she was quite young.
Later they bought a farm in Burlington when they spent the remainder of they lives farming and raising livestock.
