Rushden Argus, 27th July 1917, transcribed by Kay Collins
Killed - Mrs. Owen Nunley, of Wellington-road, Raunds, has received the sad news that her eldest son, Pte. Horace Nunley, of the Northants Regt., has been killed in France. Pte. Nunley, who joined up in January of this year, worked for the Thrapston Co-operative Society, as a grocer’s assistant for 12 months, previous to which he was an assistant at Messrs. Palmer’s Stores, Raunds. He was 27 years of age. Pte. Leslie Nunley, another son, joined the forces in November 1914, and went to Egypt with the Northants Regt., and has been missing since April last. He has not yet reached his 19th birthday. Mrs. Nunley has two other sons in the forces—Pte. Bert Nunley, of the Suffolk Regt., who is now in France; Pte. Harry Nunley, who has been wounded in France and returned home and is now stationed at Shoreham. Mrs. Nunley lost her husband (Mr. Owen Nunley) after a short illness in the early part of the present year.
