OBIT: Nunn - Crittenden Co From Confederate Veteran, vol XXI, #10 Oct 1913, pg 500 Ira D. NUNN Comrade NUNN was born October 5, 1835; and passed his entire life, except the four years of the war, in Crittenden, Ky. He enlisted in 1861, at Hopkinsville, in Company I, of Ben Hardin HELM's regiment. His first fighting was at Fort Donelson, where he escaped capture by slipping out with FORREST before the surrender. He was in the battle of Chickamauga, and as a first lieutenant of cavalry was in all the hot fighting and skirmishing from Dalton to Atlanta. He was also with President DAVIS from Hillsboro to Washington, Ga., and often told of the gift of money and the kind words with which Mr. Davis dismissed the soldiers. On his return to Kentucky, Comrade Nunn was first united in marriage to Mary C. DELANEY. After her early death he was married to Sarah SHAW, who, with five children and many grandchildren, survives him. He entered into rest on the evening of April 19, 1913.
