During the past twelve years W.E. Ferguson has held a foremost 
place among the lawyers of Navajo County, being a capable and 
conscientious practitioner, and his record here has gained for 
him the respect of all who know him.

He was born in Latham, Butler County, Kansas on July 13, 1884 
and is a son of W.A. and Sarah A. (Barker) Ferguson, the former 
of whom devoted his active life to farming pursuits. Both parents 
are deceased, the father passing away in 1913 and the mother in 
1927.  Mr. Ferguson attended the public schools of Kansas and 
Arkansas and entered Valparaiso University in Indiana, where he 
attended until 1904. In that year he took up the study of law 
and in 1910 on examination in Santa Ana, Calf, he was admitted 
to the bar of that state.  He entered his profession in Santa 
Ana, where he remained two years, and then moved to Los Angeles. 
In the latter place he built up a good practice during the five 
years in which he was located there and in 1917 came to 
Holbrook, where he has been engaged in his profession to the 
present time. He has shown a ready familiarity with the law 
and its application, is a safe and dependable counselor and 
during the years of his practice here has been successful.

On October 7, 1907 he was united in marriage to Lula A. Crisp of 
Santa Ana, California and they are the parents of five children: 
Dorris E., who is a senior in the University of Arizona; Delmer 
E., Frank W., Helen L. and W.E. Jr.

his favorite form of recreation.
