Mrs. Sarah Ferguson, widow of the late Sylvester Ferguson, died at her home on East King Street, aged ninety-six years. She had long been in declin­ing health and her death is due to old age. She came to this county from Bedford County, Ky., some sixty-five years ago and has lived here ever since. The funeral took place from her late residence Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The services were conducted by Rev. E. H. Wood of the M. E. church of which church she had long been a member.
