The death of Mrs. Letitia Ferguson
(which occurred recently at the home of
her sister, Mrs. Rose Lee, of Flushing),
was a cause of regret among her many
friends in this locality, where she was so
well and favorably known. Mrs. Fergu-

ergetic and intelligent women of the day.
In her younger days she was success

took an active interest in education, and
the leading issues of the times. In her
home-life she was kind, genial and SYM
pathetic, and many can testify to her
worth. The fullest sympathy is accorded
to those bereaved.
