A Pall of Sadness Thrown Over Our Community. , Our community was shocked to learn of the tregic death of one of our oldest and most respected citi zens, Maj. John Ferguson, w.hich oc. I curred on his plantation in this Co11n ty, on Thursday morning last, 31st ult. His remains were carried to i Greenville and laid to rest in Spring wood cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of soriowing friends. I The burial services were conducted by RAY. Z. T. Cody, pastor First Baptist church, and Rev. A. J. S. t Thomas, of the Baptist Courier, a life long frlend of the deceased. It seems that MUj. Fergnson had gone to his lot, in which a vicious bull was kept, and tie animal had at. tacked and gored him to death. Maj. Ferguson -leaves surving him his wife, who was Miss Harriet M. Grady, six children, 'three sois and three daughters. Another soa, the eldent, the Rev. Henry Grady Fergu son, died several years ago. The surviving children are John Fergut son, Jame s .1. Ferguson, Dr. Frank Ferguson, Mrs. Andrew 13. Wardlaw, of Greenville; Mrs. Harry C. Valen tine, of Trenton, N. J., and Mrs. Kemble White, of Fairmont, W. Va. Major Ferguson was for a number of years the senior member of the firm of Ferguson & Miller, which conducted the largest merchandise business in the upper part of South Carolina fn 1898 the partnership wvas dissolved and Miaj. Ferguson re mioved with his family to the old homestead in this county, where he continued to reside until his death at the age of 65 years. Maj. Ferguson was a Confederate soldier and served through the four years in the Hampton Legion, where his genius in business insde him in valuable in the commissary an d ordi nance departments. Few men won the admiration of the people of this and Greenville coun. ty to a greater degree than Mojor Ferguson. None desorved it more. Ho took an active interest in public affairs, .using his influence and his means for the welfare of others. Maj. Ferguson resided on_ the old homestead in Piokens county until he was fourteen years of age. ie then entered Thalian Academy, better known as Slab Town, remaining in that institution three years. He sub sequently became a student at Fur man University for one session. In 1860 he entered the law oflico of Maj. B. F. Perry of Greenville, under whose direction he pursued his legal studies for about a year, leaving to enter the Confederate army. -LHe joined Brooks' Troop of the 11am pton. Legion. Ever since the war Maj. Ferguson I has given his'attention to merchan dising, and hmas been eminently suc cessful, having become one of the w idely- and favorably-known mer chants in the State. Enterprise, honesty, uprightness and integrity hva. been the characteristics of his business career, and his private life has been that of an honorable, high toned Christian gentleman. The bereaved wvife and children have thu heartfelt sy mpathy of our entire community, aud trust lie who has taken away their loved one will send the wvhite-winged angel of peace into their hearts to comfort them, and may they re-alize that God knows b~est, and can in perfect trust in his divine will, sny, Thy will, not ours, O God1, be done. -Thme Greenii4o.o, Life Inss ranca~ Company, of Greensboro, N. 0., s -solling the most lhhoral and alttree. tive policy ('sow plass) over presen's d to the p~ublic. lates lou'; value' high.
