General Notes:

Canton August 21, 1908

Ellen Douglas Ferguson, eldest daughter of Hiram and Narcissa Keeney, was born in Del. Co., N.

Y., Jan 1,1836, and died near Windfall, Aug., 10 1903.

Her parents moved to Windfall while she was a young child, later they went to Waterville,

Lycoming Co.; here she grew to womanhood and taught school for seven years. She was married to James Ferguson, March 17, 1857, by Rev. J. Moorhead.

They began life together at Union, Tioga Co. where they spent eight years of happy life. In 1865 they returned to Windfall and purchased the farm upon which they lived the remainder of their lives. Mr. Ferguson departed for the better land five years ago,

Feb. 23, 1898.

To them were born six children five of whom remain, Allie, wife of Clarence Packard, of Tacoma, Washington; Myrt, Bertha, wife of Harry English, Harvey, of Williamsport, and Cora, wife of Merton Haflett.

The funeral services were held at the Windfall M. E. church. Rev. Emory A. Baldwin, a former pastor, now of Union City, Michigan, preached, with him and assisting the pastor were Rev. H. B Allen of East Canton and Rev. C. W. Wasson, of Williamsport. The large congregation unable to get into the church, was a tribute to the high esteem in which she was held.

Mrs. Ferguson gave her heart to God while young and united with the Methodist church. Her life was of the quiet yet deep spiritual nature. Her faithful ness to the church together with her loving heart and cheerful spirit won her [the friendship of all. The best work of her life was accomplished in the home. As a devoted Christian mother she was instrumental in the conversion of her entire family, all of whom are Christians. Her husband found in her a helpmate. Under every burden of life she placed a willing hand, into every dark experience she brought the light of a strong faith and a clear experience. Her last days were spent in ill health that kept her from the active life of earlier days, yet no cloud came over her faith or joy.

The pastor found her a strong support all his works. Her life closed quietly without suffering. A pure life ceased to in the home. A redeemed spirit took flight to the land of rest. The departed left sad but hopeful friends. We will see her again.

At a revival meeting held in a Baptist church he was converted to God and joined the Wesleyan Methodist church in 1865 he came to Windfall and purchased the farm on which he has since lived.

In the summer of 1866 he united with the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he has lived a faithful and beloved member until God called him home. He was quiet and retiring in life, but his clear Christian experience and his manly character made him a beloved and useful member of the church and community. The esteem with which he was held was seen at the funeral where the church was packed to its utmost. He will be greatly missed in the church and by a large circle of friends, but most of all by his bereaved family. It was there that his power was most greatly felt.

His genial and loving heart and christian life made the home a delightful place for the children and the stranger. His life was well lived, and while his death came suddenly he was read to go, leaving behind not a cloud of doubt as to his safety. The physician was called Saturday and he passed away the following Wednesday. Everything that skill could do was done. Many friends gathered to assist the family. They are grateful for the many kindnesses extended during their sorrow. The gifts of flowers from loving friends were large and beautiful. So our brother rests. He leaves a wife and five children, Mrs. Clarence Packard, Myrt Ferguson, Mrs. Harry English, Harvey L. Ferguson and Mrs. Merton Haflett. Sadly, vet hopefully, they await the resurrection morn when a broken circle shall be united in heaven.
