General Notes: Husband - David Luther Ferguson

---

During the war of the Rebellion he was attending college, but left his studies to assist in raising a company of cavalry which was mustered into the 2nd Pennsylvania Cavalry, he being commissioned a lieutenant, and serving during the entire Rebellion. Leaving home, he married, and entered into the lumber and mercantile business in Lumber City, where he continued for twelve years, during which time he was interested in the cause of education, and through his efforts the Lumber City Academy was founded. Having his store burned, and meeting with other reverses, he closed out his business and moved to Humboldt county, California, where he pre-empted 160 acres of redwood timber land. Entering in with a company, he took charge of a trading post on an Indian reservation in Hoopa Valley, California, where, in 1895, having contracted pneumonia while crossing a snow-capped mountain, the disease terminated his life.
