NUNN, James B. - SUMMERVILLE, James Benjamin Nunn, well known and highly respected resident of Summerville, Hants Co., passed away at his home on Sunday morning, October 9, 1938, at the age of eighty-seven years. Mr. Nunn was the son of the late Samuel John and (Desire) Alice (Marsters) Nunn. At the age of twelve years, he went to work in his father's shipyard, and in later years we would have heard him say that "he could build a boat from stem to stern." He was also an excellent house finisher. Mr. Nunn was twice married, his first wife being the late Eulaliah Mosher. Of this union there were three children: Alden (deceased); Alberta of Manchester, Mass.; and Roy of Chelsea, Mass. His second wife was the late Janey Ells of Windsor. Of this union there were nine children: Lillian (Mrs. G. W. Wallace), of Marlboro, Mass.; Muriel (Mrs. H. W. MacDonald), Gloucester, Mass.; Mary (Mrs. R. M. Card), of Centre Burlington; J. Clyde, Brookline, Mass; Violet (Mrs. J. J. Stinson), Marion, Mass.; Ewart, West Quincy, Mass; George, at home; and Alice (Mrs. Elliott P. Hirsch), Quincy, Mass. One daughter died in infancy.
