Benton County Democrat

FERGUSSON, Antha - Relatives here received word Tuesday morning of the death at Pawnee Agency, Okla. Ter. of Mrs. Antha Fergusson, wife of W.H. Fergus son. The remains were shipped here for interment and arrived yesterday morning. Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. J.T. Moore at 10 o'clock, immediately after which the burial took place at Odd Fellows cemetery. Mrs. Fergusson had been in Oklahoma with her husband (who was appointed chief blacksmith at Pawnee by Indian Agent Woolsey), her health seemed to improve but she grew worse again and the end did not come altogether unexpectedly. She was well known by almost everybody here, her home, and enjoyed the love and highest esteem of all. She was a noble, christian woman, full of love and charity, and her death is generally deplored. Her husband - than whom there are no better men - and children, together with relatives, have the deepest sympathy of this community.
