REV. W. T. NUNLEY


Rev. W. T. Nunley, a minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and a member of Mayfield Presbytery, died the 6th Inst., at the age of 76 years.

His life has been spent in Mayfield Presbytery, serving nearly all of the churches at stated times in the presbytery. He was not known very far out of his presbytery, but the good he has done will live on through ages, and many will rise up at the last day to call him blessed.

He was a great pastor and a good revivalist. The last few years of his life were spent in suffering; yet, he complained not.

The funeral services were held in Rozzell's Chapel Church, conducted by the writer, in the presence of many friends and loved ones. The remains are resting in the Rozzell's Chapel Church Cemetery.
                                       S. B. Rudolph.
