Lawrence Tyler Fuglaar, Sr. (September 6, 1895 – April 18, 1972),[1] was a Democrat from Pineville, Louisiana, who served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1948 to 1952 during the second administration of Governor Earl Kemp Long. As a member from Rapides Parish, Fuglaar served alongside W. George Bowdon, Jr., later the mayor of Alexandria, and T. C. Brister,[2] the owner and operator of a hardware and sporting goods store in Pineville.[3]
Fuglaar was the second of ten children of Thomas Hall Fuglaar, Sr. (1862-1941), and the former Elodie Boyd Smith. His first wife, the former Hilda Johnson (1904-1930), died at the age of twenty-six. He had five children, Marjorie Elaine Dunbar, Lawrence T. Fuglaar, Jr., Thomas Eugene Fuglaar, Patricia Ann Fuglaar, and Leslie Lee Fuglaar. Representative Fulgaar's niece by marriage, Hilda J. Hathorn Fuglaar (1924-2001), was a daughter of another Louisiana state representative from Rapides Parish, Richmond C. Hathorn.[4]
Nearly eight years after his legislative service ended, Fuglaar ran unsuccessfully for the state House in the primary election held on December 5, 1959. One of the other losing candidates in that race was Nauman Scott of Alexandria, then a Democrat but later a Republican appointee to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.[5]
In 1972, Fuglaar drowned when his boat capsized while he was fishing with his wife on Toledo Bend Reservoir near Hemphill in Sabine County in East Texas. Mrs. Fuglaar, full name not available, was able to summons for help and survived.[6]
Fuglaar is interred at Greenwood Memorial Park in Pineville.[1]
