Mrs. Minnie Ferguson, wife of W. J. Ferguson, (deceased) will make her future home with her parents, J. E. Williams and wife. Your writer extends her heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives.
Mr. Ferguson came from Arkansas to this country at the age of 14 and has lived in this community ever since that time up to about one year ago, when he quit the farm and engaged in the mercantile business with Williams Bros. He was a good moral man, full of ambition and had a host of friends. In fact, there is not a man that will be missed by all the people of this community more than this one, for he always had a smile for everyone and he held the highest respect of all who knew him.
He was sick about 28 days with typhoid fever. It is said that he endured his illness well, and that he was not afraid to die. He was called to go on Friday, Oct. 13, 1906, and his funeral was preached at Long Branch Saturday night at 8 o'clock by Rev. W. L. Ayres, after which his body was laid to rest in the Long Branch Cemetery. If the corpse had not been delayed there would have been not less than 500 people to attend the ceremony. Notwithstanding the rain and delay there was a large crowd.
