Oliver Nugent - Ward Four Citizen - Called By Death  

     By the death of Oliver C. Nugent, Grant Parish lost one of its most
useful and respected citizens.  
Mr. Nugent died on Monday, February 5, 1934 at his home in Ward Four, about
four miles east of Dry Prong, after having been ill for a week. During Mr.
Nugent's life, Grant Parish has made notable progress. No little amount of the
achievments that have been made in Grant are due to this loyal citizen,
faithful husband and devoted father.  
     Mr. Nugent was born in November 14, 1869, within a mile of the site of
his last earthly home.  
He spent all of his life in the community of his birth. On February 23, 1898,
he was married to Miss Alice Rambo.  To this union were born seven children,
five of whom survive their father:  Misses Effie and Eula Nugent of Dry Prong;
Marvin Nugent of Pollock, La.; Ray Nugent of Tullos, La.; Roy Nugent of
Rochelle, La.  
     Other surviving relatives are one brother, Wesley Nugent of Dry Prong;
one sister, Mrs. R.H. Breedlove of Longview, Texas;  
     Mr. Nugent joined the Liberty Chapel M.E. Church, South at an early age
and was a member in good standing all of his life.  Funeral services were
conducted Tuesday afternoon from Liberty Chapel with the pastor, Rev. Paulk,
assisted by Rev. Brown, in charge of the services.  Interment was in Liberty
Chapel Cemetery.
