Man Ferguson dies in Burnet and buried in Rockdale
Wm M Ferguson died at his Burnet home on May 25 of high blood pressure and complications. His body arrived in Rockdale Tuesday escorted by relatives and friends and was laid to rest at Old City Cemetery after services led by Rev. W P Grow. Ferguson, born in 1838 in Kentucky, served in Hood’s Texas Brigade and Tom Green's Brigade, edited The Rockdale Messenger, shifted its politics to the People’s Party, and lived for years as a farmer and real estate man before settling in Burnet. He is survived by his widow Martha A Ferguson, daughter Mabel Gazley of Albuquerque, and four sons Jasper N, Hugh Harvey, William Malcolm, and others.
