New-York tribune., 1874-09-18

The obituary Of the month includes the name of
worthy and honest man, John G. Ferguson of
Pleasantville near neghbor and devoted friend
of Horace Greeley. He was one Of those with
whom the veteran journalist liked to talk on farm
ing when he paid his weekly visit to Chappaqua.
and ON whose fidelity he could always rely.
Although accustomed to quiet, rural life Mr. Fergu-
son attended the Cincinnati Convention, and was
loud in his demonstrations of JOY when the friend
he had gone there expressly to support was nomi-
mated.
