Mrs. Julie Wharton Nugent, 9*,
Stamford's oldest resident and
widow of one of Texas* elucators,
died Friday a/ter noon at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Right,
where she made hpr home since
1936.
Fuffbral services were held Sat-
urday afternoon at the Avoca Bnp-
tist Church wTth Rev. Joel V.
Grimes, pastor, conducting the
service.
He was assisted by Rev. R. O.
Browder, of Avoca. Burial was
made in the Spring Creek Ceme-
tery beside the grave of her hus-
band, Robert Nugent, who died 25
years ago.
The Kinney Funeral Home had
charge of the arrangements-
Thig lady, as may be readily
found, was born in 1844, and she
was four years of age when gold
was discovered in California. She
was 17 years of age when the
Civil War broke out in MOL She
had yet to witness the coming of
the telephone, and the telegraph
when a baby, and the Mexican
war was going on ^iong about
that time between the United
SUtes and that republic. The fall
of the Alamo took plac4 took place
only eight years before she was
bom. 'She wgs three- years of age
when Texas was admitted to the
Union as a sUte, having just
ELMER F. SCHMIDT _| j P*s*ed out of the hands of the
Mexicans and into a republic, then
to be the largest state of the
United States of America. She
was about sixty years of age
when airplanes came into use, and
in her babyhood steamboats up
and down the main rivers of the
country were the highest type of
conveyance of passengerg and
freight, only to be succeeded by
railway trains. Such a life, while
l°ng, must surely have been wry
interesting.
Deceased was bom in Black
Bottom, La, Nov. 3, 1843. She was
married to Robert O. Nugent in
