"OBITUARY - DEATH OF A PIONEER SOLDIER OF THE WAR OF 1812 Nicholas Crigler, an old and estimable citizen of Kentucky, died at his residence, in Boone County, Kentucky, January 18, 1871, after a long and painful illness, which he endured with Christian fortitude. The deceased was in the seventy-seventh year of his age. He was born in Madison County, Virginia, February 2, 1794, but moved to Boone County, Kentucky, in 1829, where he resided up to the time of his death. He arrived his country with honor, having been a soldier in the war of 1812. He was married January 23, 1816, and celebrated his golden wedding January 23, 1866, on which occasion all of his family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present. He spoke to them kindly, admonishing them to live a life of piety and honesty, saying that in all probability that would be the last meeting of the entire family on earth, which proved to be true. He was a member of the English Lutheran Church from his early boyhood, and his life was entirely consistent with the faith and doctrine which he professed. Death had no terrors for him. The deceased leaves not only an extensive circle of relatives, who are deeply bereaved, but a long list of friends, endeared by long years of acquaintance and kind friendship, who profoundly mourn his loss."
