May 17, 1880 – Jarvis & Nichols general merchandise store re-opened under its new name. James A. Nichols, former woods boss and later superintendent, joined forces with Henry H. Jarvis, in forming the new concern. It replaced the previous Jarvis & Dollard general merchandise store. Jarvis’ original partner, Thomas Dollard, had been killed in an ambush by the Mendocino Outlaws on October 15, 1879.
