Nugent Women

Rockport's Irish Ladies

By: Charles Giuliano - Mar 27, 2016

Nugent Women

Irish scamp
Whiskey and women
Scion of the clan
Working the land
Beaver Dam Farm
Rockport's evocative
Dogtown Common
Patrick Nugent
Spread his seed
Passed at 50 in 1900
Left Mary with twelve
Baker's dozen
Another by his sister
Four girls
Eldest Josephine Flynn
My grandmother
God fearing
Hard working
Pious women
Josephine, Julia, Mary, Catherine
Posed at his funeral
Keeping the faith
While their men
Out and about
Of that
Surely
There can be
No doubt
