General Notes: Husband - Thomas Fergus

---

He received a district school education and before his marriage taught singing school.
He operated a tannery before his marriage. In 1839 he moved to a farm which then contained about eighty acres; twenty-three acres were later sold. He engaged in general farming and sheep raising, frequently having 500 head. The coal on the land was sold, but there were three good oil wells in operation. Mr. Fergus was a Republican for many years of his life and he was frequently called upon to serve in township offices, being auditor, supervisor and school director at different times. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church at Pidgeon Creek and his wife belonged to the United Brethren Church.
