Elder E. W. Nunley, Cook's Point, Texas

Emery Wesley Nunley is my husband's great-grandfather. In this picture, he was representing the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He lived around Hearne, Texas. He was a Baptist minister, and then became a deacon in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was born in Tennessee and began his ministries in Tennessee. During his ministries, he traveled a great deal and he brought smallpox home and his wife and unborn child died. His wife was 8 months pregnant at the time. He relocated to Hearne, Texas.
