  Carlisle News November 12, 1915 Page 2 John Ferguson a well known and highly respected farmer of Haddon township, died at his home west of town Friday afternoon, November 5th, after a weeks illness with erysipelas. His death came as a shock to his family and to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Ferguson was one of the few men whose every acquaintance almost was a friend. The deceased was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Ferguson and was born at Lovett, Jennings county, Indiana, January 6th, 1850, being at the time of death 65 years, 9 months, and 29 days of age. He was united in marriage to Rachel Long at Flora, Illinois, on June 21, 1870, and to this union were born three children, one daughter and two sons. The deceased had been a resident of Haddon township for many years and was one of the big melon farmers of the township. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having joined that order at Paris Crossing, Indiana, thirty two years ago and at the time of his death was a member of Carlisle Lodge No. 50. I. O. O. F. About five years ago Mr. Ferguson injured an eye and it became necessary that the injured member be removed, and since its removal his health was never so good as before this happened. The deceased is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Charles Hart, one son, Wm. T. Ferguson, of Carlisle, four grandchildren, two brothers, W. H. Ferguson, of Lovett, Indiana, and Jasper R. Ferguson, of Rumsey, California, and one half brother, James R. Ferguson, of Lovett. The funeral services were in charge of Carlisle Lodge No. 50. I. O. O. F., and after ritualistic services at the home and at the grave, interment was made in the I. O. O. F. cemetery.
