POWER COMPANY
OFFICIAL DIES
AT RIVERSIDE

P. r. Ferguson, aged Go, auditor
and assistant secretary of The
Southern Sierras Power Company
and associated subsidiary companies
of the Nevada California Electric
Corporation, and vice president of
the Interstate Telegraph Company,
died at the Riverside Community
hospital on Monday afternoon at
2:S0 following several weeks of
sickness. Death came as a shock
to the associates of Mr.. Ferguson
in The Southern Sierras Power Com
pany and his many friends on ac-
count of the fact that he had ap-
parently recovered from his recent
sickness on Saturday
Mr.. Ferguson was born June 6,
1864, at East Grange, Parish of Kin
loft, near Forref, County of Foray
Scotland. He was for two years a
law clerk when young man in the
town of Forref and came to the
United States in February, 1888, en-
tering the employment of a whole
sale house in st. Louis, occupying
various positions until December Is,
1902. On January l, 1908, Mr.. Fer
guson began his work in the tele-
phone business, entering the service
of the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele
phone Company in Salt Lake City,
Utah, as auditor, and was employed
by that company and its successor
until 1912. He then became affil-
lated with the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company in. San Francis
co as special accountant until he
made his affiliation with The South
ern Sierras Power Company in Riv
erside on April !, 1913. Thus his
with the local company
completed 17-year period of serv
ice on the day of his death.
