He was a spelling and math whiz in school and played football for the Hamilton Bulldogs. Upon graduation from high school he became an apprentice working laying floors and worked in that field for 51 years before retiring.

Nolan was a farmer and rancher all of his life. He lived and worked in Fort Worth, Texas during the week and would travel to Hamilton every weekend, kids and horses in tow, to work side by side with his parents, raising cattle and farming the fields.

In June of 1968 he attended night school to become an auctioneer. He graduated first in his class and ended up doing radio spots to promote the auctioneering school.

Nolan was a man of great faith and believed in right from wrong, keeping your word, loving God and your family above all else, and going to God in prayer daily with all of your worries, cares, and thankfulness.
He was a fixture in town often seen picking up feed for his cattle, going to Sonic for the ice he loved, and dropping by Brandi’s for chewing tobacco with his beloved little dog Cupid riding along in his lap.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank Jake and Brandi Murphree, their sons Zeb and Jace and Jamie Martin. Also, Mary Owen, the sweet ladies at the Hamilton Wound Clinic, and Kristi Armstrong at Brookshires Pharmacy.
