| FERGUSON (1) |
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 of $3,400 and the
church is now in a healthy condition. He was born in Bradford county, June 7,
1843. Following his theological course, his first 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 died
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,

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 on article Dec 19050 |
