Mr. Nugent is survived by his wife and several children, his two daughters being successful teachers in that county. No cause is assigned for the tragedy excepting ill health, from which Mr. Nugent had been a victim for the past year, and it supposed that brooding upon this misfortune had unsettled his mind to the extent that he was temporarily irresponsible. The family are widely acquainted, and their friends in this community will learn with sorrow of their bereavement. on July 14, 1916.⁴
