The Rev. Coleson E. Ferguson, pastor of the Epworth Methodist
Episcopal church, died at his home 708 West Water Street, last evening
at 8:30 o’clock from an attack of uremic poisoning. The attack first became
noticeable at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon on his return from a meeting
in the church near the Reformatory. He was accompanied in a buggy by Mrs.
J. J. Lamouree of Carrs Corners, whom Mr. Ferguson frequently took part
way home from the church meetings. Mrs. Lamouree noticed that Mr. Ferguson
allowed his horse to ramble away from the road, and she took the reins.
From that time on she was compelled to hold him up to keep him in the wagon.
She drove all the way home with him, and there he was assisted from the
wagon by members of his family. Medical Aid waw summoned, but to no avail,
and he died in a few hours. At the church several of the members had noticed
his hand stiffen and he rubbed it several times to ward off numbness. Prior
to this he had felt ill at times. Several times he had had nose bleed an |

Eight days ago the Rev. Mr. Ferguson passed his seventieth
birthday. He had been pastor of several churches in this city, and had
an enviable record in his work. During the years he had been pastor of
the Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church he had paid off the church debt

call was to the Centenary church in this city. He helped to remove the
debt of that church at that time, and afterwards was pastor of a church
at Lowman, later building one at Wellsburg. He later solicited $500 for
the Riverside church and thus became one of its founders. When the village
of Elmira Heights was in its infancy, he founded the Oakwood avenue Methodist
church and helped in the erection of its building, leaving the church without
debt. Afterwards he became pastor of the Pennsylvania avenue church, where
he served eight years with great success. He cleared up all the debts of
this church |

WILLIAM LOVELL FISK Diphtheria has once more added to the
untimely list of those who have succumbed to this dreaded disease, William
Lovell Fisk, was prostrated last Sunday with an attack of quinsy, as supposed,
and as he was a subject of that ailment, he was treated accordingly; but
last evening Dr. Gregory diagnosed the case as diphtheria. The patient
was then greatly reduced in strength. This forenoon at half past eleven
the end came suddenly as so often is the case with diphtheria. The deceased
was a son of the late Sanford Fisk, a well known farmer of the town of
Veteran, but who passed away about a year ago at his home in Elmira. The
son was thirty years old and had always lived at the home of his uncle
and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Lovell, for they were very fond of him.
He attended the Elmira schools, and graduated from the Academy. He was
associated with Mr., Lovell as manager of his wholesale tobacco business
on upper West Second Street. Harry A. Fisk and Fred E. Fisk, both well

WILLIAM LOVELL FISK Quietly and with only the immediate
family as witnesses the funeral of the late William Lovell Fisk took place
this morning at 11 o’clock, just twenty-four hours after death from diphtheria.
The body of the young man was borne from the home to hearse and thence
to the graveside at Woodlawn by member of the family. There were no stated
pallbearers, no home service, no outside attendants-for there could be
none. At the place of interment. Rev. S. E. Eastman offered a simple prayer
service and the sadly suddenly tragedy was ended except for those so cruelly
saddened by its suddenness-they are mourning now. A sad sequel to the death
of this young husband and father is the serious illness of the little baby
daughter who was in convulsions all of last night, causing a ceaseless
virgil on the part of those already bereaved. The little one has not diphtheria,
but is so frail that it will be a wonder if she can survive. (handwritten
