The Alex
Nunley family moved to Bon Jellico from near McMinnville, Tennessee in
two wagons
and brought the old cow along too. Uncle Alex and
John worked for Mr. Pack at a sawmill in Bon Holler in 1911 and sawed the
lumber for the first house in Bon. Since they lived in a tent there, when
the house was finished they moved into it. Alex Nunley later worked on the
company train roads and tracks. When the powerhouse was built to furnish
power for the coal mining machines, Alex Nunley fired the Power House boiler,
a job he held until age caused him to slow down. He then became a watchman
and slept in the company store. Some of his children were: Ethel Nunley Johnson,
Susie Nunley Green, John Nunley, Eva Nunley Cornelius, Wesley Nunley, and
Mae Nunley Halfacre.
