"A useful life was ended when Eliza A. Ferguson, daughter of James R., and Eliza Ann Roosa Ferguson entered into rest Thursday morning at 7 o'clock, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Melvin D. Drake of Richfield Springs. She was born in East Springfield, February 2, 1841, and was educated at the old Cherry Valley academy, at the age of seventeen and she began teaching, her first school being East Springfield, where she taught for nine years ... Miss Ferguson became a Christian early in life and united with the old Associate Reform church in Richfield Springs, and was always an earnest worker in the Master's vineyard. Since that time she has made her home in Richfield with her sisters, Mrs. Louise F. Allen, who passed away a year ago, and Mrs. Drake, with the exception of two years when she was with an aunt in Illinois. In 1908 she returned east and the gradual failing of her health again began. She is survived by four sisters and one brother, Mrs. Melvin D. Drake and Mrs. Martin both of Richfield Springs; Mrs. Edmund H. Bowker of Corinth; Mrs. Fannie S. Barnes of Schenevus, and Wallace Ferguson of Middlefield ... The burial was at the Springfield Center cemetery." ["The Otsego Farmer" (Cooperstown, NY), Mar. 25, 1910, p 7]
