     Walter Sargent died on 14 May 1957.¹

The Sargent side of the family originated in North Carolina; from there they migrated to Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. GG-grandfather John Jackson Sargent was called out for a duel, in which he was killed and the man that called him out died also.

Grandfather George Washington Sargent killed two men in a coal mine for which he went to prison. In those days when you worked the coal mines you put a tag on the carts of coal you had mined so when the cart got to the top you got paid for it. Two men were changing the tags on the cars so it looked like they had mined it, grandpa caught them and they attacked him with pick axes, his partner threw him a gun and he shot them.

Walter Sargent was wounded in Normandy during WWII, where he lost one lung, somehow he was listed as killed in action and his wife, Alta Sargent was notified. She refused to believe it and 3 months later her beliefs were verified by dad’s best friend, Lance Dale Robinson. He came to New Jersey and told mom that he had seen dad and he was coming home aboard the US Acadia Hospital Ship on Feb. 23rd, 1945. Dad called her from Kennedy General Hospital in Tennessee to tell her to catch the next train.

As the fate of life will sometimes have it he was to be murdered on May 14, 1957 by his friend and neighbor Arthur Brock. He was shot twice with a 12 gauge shotgun while he was milking. Mr. Brock was heard to say "he covered my baby up"; they had buried his 14 month old little girl the day before, and Walter had helped to bury her.
