Obituary:

Our Woori Yallock correspondent writes:- By the death of Mr. J. Ferguson on the 19th inst., this district has lost one of its oldest and most highly esteemed residents. The deceased, who suddenly passed away from this life after a very short illness, came to the locality some 35 years ago, and was well known and respected in all the surrounding districts. To the last he was always to the fore when any gathering was held, and took a keen interest in anything that would better the district. The large cortege which followed the remains to their last resting place at Lilydale showed the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved widow and family of the deceased. [Lilydale Express 29-01-1915]
