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. Later they bought a farm in Burlington when they spent the remainder of they lives farming and raising livestock.
