The Shugart family raised vegetables, livestock and poultry, which they hauled to Leavenworth, then the railroad division point, also hay and grain, and later, when a sawmill was built at Leavenworth shortly after the turn of the century, Mr. Shugart also engaged in logging, the logs being hauled to Leavenworth on a logging railroad built by the lumber company.
Mrs. Shugart died in 1902, and in 1908, Mr. Shugart married Mrs. Mary Ricedorff McCardle, herself a member of a pioneer Waterville family. She died in 1949, at an advanced age.
He is survived by one son, George Shugart of Harrison, Idaho; one daughter, Mrs. Earl West, of Leavenworth; six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
