Remembrances and Obituary Notes From Rural Messenger
A long obituary and remembrance piece recounts the life of Mr Ferguson with focus on his religious faith, career in Henry and Chicago, and family. It recalls his early conversion under Methodism, a biography of his marriage to Clara Woyt, two children before his death, and a lineage of faithful service, education, and business activities across cities in the United States. Also noted is the death of Mrs Ellen W Bonham of Lacon after a long illness, detailing her illness, care from family, and the weighing of faith and mourning within the community.
