The Crittenden Press, Marion, KY 3 Aug 1928. Used with permission. Mr. and Mrs. S.A. Nunn, of this county, have been married for a little over sixty years, having been united in marriage April 20, 1868. Samuel Arthur Nunn, son of John Nunn, deceased, was born near Weston in this county, September 30, 1837. Mr. Nunn lived at Weston until the Civil War, when he joined the Confederate army, remaining in the war until near the close, when he was captured at Princeton and was taken to Smithland. At that place he was given a parole and reached home shortly afterwards. Mr. Nunn remembers many incidents of the war, especially an incident following the surrender of Fort Donelson. At about ten o'clock (he and others had not retired) he heard General Forrest and Captain Williams tell of their plans to attempt making an escape. He was told to have men mounted and to go with them. They swam their horses across the backwater and made their escape. Anatasia Clement Nunn, his wife, was born at the Clement home in this county November 14, 1843. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Nunn made their home on a farm where they have lived their entire married life of over 60 years.
