She suffered a relapse Saturday, however and died that night at about eight o'clock. The funeral was held at 3:30 Monday afternoon, the services being conducted by Re. H.E. Norton at the First Baptist Church, and the remains were interred in the city cemetery. The deceased was a daughter of the Late Joseph Ferguson and a sister of W.I. Ferguson, of this place. She leaves a husband and five little daughters to mourn her loss.
