NUGENT.-The sickle has again
felled the ripening grain, we'll ma.
tured. When DR.. w. r. Nugent's life
went out those who had known him
realized what a large place he had
filled in the State of Iowa for more
than half century. Coming to Iowa
in 1854, in his youth and vigor, full of
hope and laudable ambitions, locating
in Washington county, when magnif-
cent distances prevailed and when
me were measured by merit alone, he
commenced the practice of medicine
and surgery, and very soon was wide.
ly known as dependable physician
and surgeon and recognized as re-
markable in many ways. No dis
lance was too long, no weather too
severe, no roads impossible for him
when called to aid the suffering, and
none so poor that his great, big, kind
heart did not willingly respond. En-.

over radius of fifty miles around,
he encountered many and varied ex.
periences which, in after years, prov.
ed of untold value in making up his
knowledge of human nature, of which
he was paragon, and there was no
entertainment which excelled his
"reminiscences of perils and priyatims
and experiences in the life of pic.
neer doctor. Although young, he was
unusually equipped in knowledge of
his profession and far in advance of
the times in general knowledge, and
this soon was recognized by all those
who came in contact with him. and
added to this was rare social make.
up and kindly disposition, enterprise
and public spirit, and his popularity
was assured, and he was leading
man-not leading young man alone
but leading man, citizen with
high ideals.
A most fortunate circumstance, in
early life he was married with Miss
Rhoda Scott, highly accomplished
lady with rare intellectual attain.
ments. They remained at Washing.
