Nugent, Maud R.
Died- On Friday evening, May 24, 1889, of consumption, Mrs. Maud R. Nugent, at the home of her sister, Mrs. J.W.
Hedrick, in Henry, MO. Mrs. Nugent was a native of Saline County, where she was born on March 7, 1865. She was
married to D.B. Nugent at Wakanda, MO., on May 4, 1882. Last fall, it became evident to her husband that the sands
of her life were fast running out, and to stay the hands of the fell destroyer she was taken to Texas, where it
was hoped the mild climate would at least prolong her live. But death had marked her for a victim, and the love
of a devoted husband and the skill of the best physicians were powerless to stay his coming and just as life seemed
sweetest and nature was dressed in its prettiest garb her soul was wafted away to the great beyond.
Some months ago she made a profession of religion, and two weeks ago she united with the M.E. church, south. She
leaves a husband and one child, a boy three years of age, to morn her loss. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon
at Henry, conducted by Rev. J.A. Beagle, and her remains were interred in the Richmond cemetery.
