Mrs. Laura Tugwell, 93, mother of Louisiana State Treasurer A. P. Tugwell,
died at a rest home in Winnsboro early Tuesday morning, where she had been

of Winnfield for 50 years.  She was the widow of the late Robert W. Tugwell,
and was a native of Georgia.

Mrs. Tugwell was an active worker in the First Baptist Church until her
advanced age hindered her.

with burial in the Winnfield Cemetery.

Acting as pallbearers were Clyde and John T. DeLoach, Burton Williams, Houston
Smith, J. L. Corley, and Ovey Trahan.

Besides her son, Pat, of Baton Rouge, Mrs. Tugwell is survived by two
grandchildren.  One of her daughters-in-law, Mrs. J. L. Tugwell, is a resident
of Winnfield.
