The following is from the Social Security Death Index at: http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi Name: STANLEY F NUNLEY Birth: 30 May 1918 Death: 03 Jul 1988 Last Residence: Abingdon, Washington, VA 24210 Last Benefit: none specified SSN: 414-34-9110 Issued: Tennessee (Stanley's Social Security card was issued in TN) The Social Security Act was signed by FDR on 8/14/35. Taxes were collected for the first time in January 1937 and the first one-time, lump-sum payments were made that same month. Regular ongoing monthly benefits started in January 1940. So Stanley would have had his SS card issued in TN sometime after 1934. There are many newspapers being put on microfilm these days, therefore the Library in Abingdon might be able to help you as you can provide them Stanley's death date and there may be an obituary in a newpaper.
