Seeking info on Nikkeltown, KS (Woodson County early 1900s), apparently this community no longer exists or has a new name as I’m unable to find this on recent maps. Have been able to locate the site of the Nikkeltown school from the Kansas Historical Society website. Would like to visit/explore the Nikkeltown cemetery in attempt to locate resting place of G-Grandmother. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Daily Press
Victorville, San Bernardino, CA.
21 Nov 2007 , B2

Donald “Don” Thomas Nikkel, 78, passed away due to heart failure at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. He was a resident of Victorville.
Don was born March 12, 1929, in Shafter. He was the youngest of 11 children, born to Frank and Sarah Nikkel. Don’s life plans were interrupted by the abrupt death of his father when he was 18 years old. After working and supporting his mother for a time, he attended Redlands University. Upon graduation in February 1955, he enrolled in Berkeley Baptist Divinity School, where he went on to graduate in 1957.
Don served 10 years as pastor to the First Baptist Church of Miami, Ariz. He later worked for the county of San Bernardino as a family and marriage counselor and then for the Department of Children’s Services. He was a member of Victorville Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite of San Bernardino, Al Malika Shrine and High Twelve Association. He served as statewide president of High Twelve in 2006.
Don and his wife, Norma, enjoyed traveling in their RV and keeping in touch with family and friends via e-mail. Don loved life, a good laugh, his family and his many friends. He left us for life eternal on Nov. 18, 2007.
Don is survived by his wife, Norma; eight children, Paul, Sherie, Allen, Lyla, Jim, Dana, John, Rick and their spouses; 17 grandchildren; nine greatgrandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Visitation will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Victor Valley Mortuary, 15609 11th St., Victorville. Services will follow at noon. Victor Valley Mortuary is handling arrangements.
