At age 18, Edward Lawrence Nickerson went to Penawawa to work in harvest. It was common for men to cool off at the end of a day's work by swimming in the Snake River. During one of these times, Edward drowned. He was buried at Penawawa. When the river was flooded after the Lower Granite Dam was built, his remains and marker were moved to the Colfax, Washington cemetery. He was a son of Franklin Taylor Nickerson and martha Elizabeth (née Cockerton) Nickerson. Names: Nickerson, Edward Lawrence, 1879-1897</div>
