  Police Jury Secretary Ragan Sutton said that "Mr. Duggan was
  a very valuable asset to Lincoln Parish. He began work for
  the Police Jury on April 8, 1929 and was placed in charge of
  road and  other work done by prisoners. He remained in that
  capacity although was promoted to road superintendent in
  1941.  He retired last October 1st, after becoming 65 years
  old on September 28. He and the late Eddie Evans, the parish
  engineer, did an invaluable job in carrying out the Police
  Jury's policy in highway matters."
  
  Sutton said that Duggan was the type of person who just
  "lived and breathed his work"
  
  Services will be at 3 p.m. Sunday in Emmanuel Baptist Church
  with the Rev. W. H. Markham officiating. Burial will be in
  St. Rest Cemetery under the direction of Spears Funeral
  Home.
