Death Claims E. E. Ferguson
Industrialist, Philanthropist

Long illness OF z. E. Ferguson
terminated quietly at 4:25 o'clock
this morning.
In Ypsilanti, as in other cities
where he had resided. Mr.. Fergu-
son had followed a busy course.
Always looking ahead, planning
with sound economic foresight, he
prided himself upon his Scotch"
thrift, as he pleased 10 call 1t, and
more secretly upon his philanthro-
pic projects Of which he had many.
Christened Edgar Emmit, he en-
ioyed the cordial greeting "E.E."
as he was known by his closest
friends, and in his later years he
found time between calls OF his
business and his farm TO occasion
ally reflect upon days past as COM
pared with the present. and 10
speculate upon the possibilities OF
t e immediate future. Proof of
his good business judgment was
apparent in the mas erful handling
OF the United Stove Company as
he built it larger each successive
year. By applying fundamental
rules of business management he
arrived It political conclusions and
enjoyed the study OF national
trends.
IL was through consistent en-
terprise and hard work that Mr..
Ferguso developed his nne bust
ness acumen. AS boy he ex-
perience1 the advantages of rural
life. He was born December 10,
