Fhearghus  (Danny Floyd Ferguson) 97-11-01 10:25:22

I would like any information on Austin B. Ferguson. He was killed in a sawmill accident in Weston and was buried in Mosinee. He was a member of Mosinee I.O.O.F. lodge # 123, Arbutas Camp # 1383, M.W.A. and Mosinee Assembly # 69, F. F. U. The funeral services were held at the Episcopal church by pastor Joseph Conway. I estimate the time frame is between 1900 and 1920. I know this is quite a span but this comes from the little information I have of the time frame of his children's births.

This information is taken from a faded copy of a article from The Times,so I hope I've read it correctly. I have no dates or location of where the news paper is printed. Because of the title of the article I would guess that it is from Mosinee.
