Mr. William B. Nunley, age 74 years, 9 months, died March 7, 1929,at 6:30 A.M. He was born in Warren Co., TN., June 7, 1855, the son of Willis and Elizabeth "Betty" (Nunley) Nunley.

They came to Texas in 1882 and settled near Coryell Church where they remained for 8 years, moving to the Waldo community where they have resided for the past 38 years. He was a splendid Christian man, a member of the Coryell Baptist Church. He was converted at his home in 1886, and joined the church in 1887. He had endeared himself to many as a father, neighbor, friend and citizen, and his death is mourned by all.

Pallbearers were his 3 sons, two sons-in-law, and one grandson. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Mr. C. H. Roberts, undertaker for S. Amsler & Co. at Crawford.

We do not know where William B. Nunley's (1855-1929)mother, Elizabeth "Betty" is buried, but it probably in the Nunley Cemetery in Northcutts Cove, Tennessee, since her brother, Jesse, gave the land for a Nunley cemetery. For sure Willis's father, Willam B. Nunley (1801-1889) is buried in Nunley Cemetery in Northcutts Cove, TN. FAG #28419332.
