Husband of 1) Maggie (Hill) Nuckolls and 2) Edna (Cox) Nuckolls; son of William and Sarah J. (Shepherd) Nuckolls.
From Carole Conrad -
Married 1st Margaret (Maggie) Nevada Hill, Sept. 18, 1917; married 2nd Edna Alice Cox, Mar. 18, 1927.
Edison received his education at Furches, NC and Appalachian College in Boone, NC with a degree in teaching.
He and Maggie Hill eloped by buggy to the depot in West Jefferson, NC, and boarded a train to Chicago to join his brother.
Later they left Chicago and went to Colorado Springs, CO, where Edison was employed with the gold mines.
After a few years, they returned to Furches and lived on a farm his mother had purchased for them, January 2, 1931.
Edison became engaged in farming, cattle raising, lumber, and owned his own sawmill for over 20 years. Edison was a great musician and played all instruments. He played a five-string banjo in a band, having recorded and broadcast on a radio station in North Wilkesboro, NC. He also had a private band at home in which every member of his family took part in playing.
For more information on Edison's musical talents, see the article: Edison Nuckolls: A "Henpecked Husband".
Edison was a very hard worker and was one of the last farmers in the county to work the land without the aid of a tractor, but instead used horse-drawn machinery.
His machines can now be seen at Shatley Springs Inn along with other antique machinery.
