Biography:
NUGENT BROTHERS, proprietors of Nugent Brothers Theatre, at Kaukauna, Wisconsin, are well known in the theatrical profession, not only as performers and owners, but as composers of popular songs. They established the first successful moving picture theater in the Fox River Valley, and their present playhouse was started by them in July, 1907, and has gained the popular fancy to such an extent that a successful future is assured. The Nugent boys are sons of Alfred A. and Eva A. (Sweet) Nugent, who came to Kaukauna in 1888 from Chilton, Wisconsin, Mr. Nugent having been born in Canada and his wife in Wisconsin. He died in 1903 in this city, where Mrs. Nugent still makes her home. The Nugent brothers, William A. and Earl H., received high school educations, and the former attended Northwestern University. Always talented musicians, they early entered the theatrical profession in that line, and soon became widely known as the composers of popular songs and music. They provide a popular entertainment at moderate prices, and their audiences are composed largely of women and children, nothing of a questionable nature being allowed or tolerated in their house. Both brothers are very popular personally in Kaukauna, while their very evident efforts to please the public are winning them new friends daily. William A. Nugent married Leona Briggs, of Appleton, and Earl H. Nugent's wife was formerly Henrietta Schlichting, of Kaukauna, and they have two children: Alfred H. and Benjamin Sweet. Earl is fraternally connected with the Eagles, while William is a member of the Elks, and both are adherents of the political principles advocated by the Democratic party.

Earl married Schlichting, Henrietta Bef 1907. Henrietta was born 14 Feb 1877; died 3 Jun 1961; was buried , Kelso Cemetery, Kaukauna, Wisconsin, USA. [Group Sheet]
