Edwin Brandon Nuttall1

b. 24 September 1898, d. 15 July 1932
FatherThoughtless Nuttall2,1 b. 25 Aug 1873, d. 13 Apr 1937
MotherMary Brandon Withers2,1 b. 17 Sep 1879, d. 23 Jul 1969
Birth24 Sep 1898 Edwin Brandon Nuttall was probably born on 24 Sep 1898 although there is some confusion surrounding the year. The 1900 census lists the date as Sept. 1897 which is inconsistent with his age on later census records. His death certificate uses 24 Sept. 1899 which is inconsistent with his sister's birth in Feb. 1900.1,2,3 
Name Other  Edwin was known by his middle name.4 
Childhood  Brandon spent his childhood living in Kentucky first in Shelby County and then in neighboring Henry County.1,5 
Marriagecirca 1919 He married Mary Frances Duncan circa 1919.6 
Cens-19205 Jan 1920  They settled in Shelby County near his parent's residence on the Shelbyville-Eminence Pike. The young couple were living in the same residence as A.L. Duncan and his wife Lelah.7 
Cens-19304 Apr 1930  Ten years later they were again enumerated in the Duncan residence. Asa Duncan was born in Illinois. He owned his farm, and was also indicated as the owner of a radio. Brandon (Edwin B.) was enumerated as the head of his own household, which included wife Frances D. (30, b. KY, father b. IL), son Brandon D. (7), and daughter Jane F. (3 1/2). He rented his land and did not own a radio. They were enumerated adjacent to Thoughtless Nuttall on State Highway 55 which appears to be the same road as the previously recorded Shelbyville-Eminence Pike. Though the men (Asa, Thoughtless, Brandon) all listed their occupation as farming, Brandon's signature also appears at the top of each census page for the district as the official census enumerator.6 
Death15 Jul 1932 Edwin died uremia on 15 Jul 1932 in Eminence, Shelby County, Kentucky, at age 33. The certificate included a notation that the patient had been confined to bed for 11 months.2 
Burial17 Jul 1932 He was buried on 17 Jul 1932 at Eminence Cemetery in Shelby County, Kentucky.2
