Almost Immediately thereafter

He is the son of Nathaniel Nun

north of Camden. His parents
died when he was a boy, leaving
him, the eldest of six. children,
without father or mother. Alonzo
made many friends by his faithful
care of his smaller brothers and
sisters.
At the age of % Brother Nun
merry was married to Miss Eliza
Victory johnson of this county.
They lived greater part of their
life in Tennessee, but for the past
fifteen years they made their home
in Oklahoma. His wife died at
Chlckasha in May, 1921.
Brother Nunnery is the father of
five children, all married: DIR. E.

Brother Nunnery was at one time

the Baptist Church.
Brother Nunnery is to be con-

active in these organizations aud in
every good work of the town.
