Mary Agnes Ferguson,
Loveland, CO. Mary
A. (Berry) Ferguson was born Feb. 14, 1913, on the Berry family farm in Parke
Co., Indiana. She was the third of nine
surviving children of John P. and Cora C. (Snow) Berry. The Berry ancestors came from county Tyrone,
Ireland to Parke Co. Ind. in 1833. Mary is survived by four children: Keith and
Irmy Ferguson of Bear Valley Springs , Calif.; Ken and Pat Ferguson of Dillon,
Co; Morris Ferguson of Winnsboro , Texas ; and Carolyn Mahlum of Brevard , N.C.
She has 13
grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.
She is also survived by two brothers, Morris Berry of Crawfordsville,
Ind. and Malcolm Berry of Greencastle, Ind. and one sister, Helen Haymen also
of Greencastle, Ind. and numerous nieces and nephews. Mary graduated from
Greene Township High School in 1930.
She married Neal P. Ferguson in Petersburg, Ind. on Aug. 14, 1933. They moved to rural Montague, Michigan in
1937 where they farmed until 1950, then lived in Rothbury, Mich. They returned to Ind. in the mid 1960s where
Neal eventually became town marshal in Jamestown, Ind. for several years. In 1972 they moved to Isanti, Minn. where in
their retirement years, they were caretakers for the Erickson Farms. In 1981 Neal developed cancer and they moved
to Denver, Colo. for expert treatment and to be near family. They then settled in the Big Thompson Manor
retirement home in Loveland Colorado. Mary’s
husband of 53 years, Neal passed away on April 25, 1986. Mary was a resident of Loveland’s Good
Samaritan Village from June, 2002 until her passing on March 23, 2005. She and her beloved Neal are together again
and will soon be planning a picnic and fishing trip. The fishing should be good in heaven - no cleaning, already rolled
in cornmeal cooked and ready to eat.
Mary devoted her whole life to her family, first mothering her younger
brothers and sisters, then taking care of her family. She was a good and loving mother and housewife who cooked many
good meals and canned many quarts of fruits, vegetables, jellies and jams on a
wood burning stove at the Michigan farm.
Mary never drove a car and was asked once, “why not?” her reply “I never
needed to go anyplace that Neal wasn’t going.”
She only worked outside the home a year or so as a cook at our country
grade school and as a clerk at the U.S. Post Office in Rothbury, Mich in the
late 50s. Mary was a member of the
Auxiliary Red Cross in the 40s and helped roll bandages and what was needed for
the war effort. She was a 4-H leader
and taught many young girls sewing and canning. Mary was also a member of the Eastern Star in Montague,
Michigan. We all love and miss you mom. Tell Dad hi and save some fish for us.
Services took place at the Viegut Funeral Home on March 25 in Loveland

Three die in
county in weekend traffic Muskegon County's traffic toll climbed to 18
this year when three persons died over
the weekend. The count compares
to eight deaths a year ago. Edna J.
Peterson, 58, of 2605 W. River, died when the car she was riding in was involved in a three-car collision at
Whitehall and River at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
The driver, her husband Raymond,
60, was in critical condition today with multiple injuries in Hackley
Hospital's intensive care unit.
Muskegon County Sheriff's deputies said the accident happened when a
northbound pickup truck on Whitehall skidded
sideways on slippery pavement and entered the southbound lane and
collided with two approaching cars, including the Peterson vehicle. Carl W.
Parrish Jr., 29, of 3275 Worden, told police that he tried unsuccessfully to
steer the truck into a nearby
woods. The driver of the third car in
the collision, Russell A. Pulaski, 27, of 866 Fleming, told investigators that
he saw the truck slide out of control
but that he was unable to avoid hitting it.
A passenger, Jason Pulaski, 4, of the same address, was in critical condition in Hackley's
intensive care unit with a head injury.
Five other persons in the accident were treated and released.
Dalton Township firemen were called to free up trapped victims with a
Hurst tool. Norton Shores police said
a Wyoming, Mich., woman died just
before midnight Sunday when her car rolled several times on Seaway after it
failed to make a curve at the Norton
intersection. A county medical examiner
pronounced Lydia A. Martinez, 27, dead at the scene of the accident.
A passenger, Diamantina G. Fernandez, 29, of 2855 Taft in Spring Lake,
was not injured. The county's
third weekend fatality occurred early
Saturday when a 19-year-old Grand Rapids man died after he fell from his
motorcycle into the path of a van. Michael Wayne Conant was pronounced dead on
arrival at Grant Hospital, according to state police from Newaygo.
Police said Conant was northbound on M-37 near White Road in Muskegon
County when he ran into the rear of another motorcycle and was thrown into the

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE Richard Fetters Turns on Jets Gas Stove While Family is Away Richard Fetters, 63 years old, who
resided with his son Merrill Fetters, 780 East
Larch avenue, took his own life yesterday when he turned on all the gas jests
of the stove even to the oven jet. He had been despondent for some time, and it
had worried him recently because he
could not find work. Mr. and Mrs.
Merrill Fetters spent Labor day at
Newaygo and when they returned last night they found the house filled with
gas. Mr. Fetters had placed a chair
near the gas stove, but later his body tumbled from it to the floor.
Another son, Charles Fetters, resides in Chicago.
