The universal sorrow felt on account of the sad and tragic death of Mr. William
K. Ferguson, of Atlantic City, was painly visible at the funeral held at Colley
Memorial Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon, the building being filled to its
utmost capacity by friends of the deceased from all parts of the city, who
assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to one who in life endeared himself
to all with whom he was associated.  Many of his old comrades in arms during the
late war were present.  The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.W.
Maxwell, assisted by Rev. Dr. H.E. Johnson, of Cumberland Street M.E. church,
and Rev. W.T. Williams, of LeKies Memorial.  Each spoke in eulogistic terms of
the deceased.  During their remarks many in the audience were visibly affected.
 There were a large number of beautiful floral designs.  The remains were laid
to rest in Elmwood Cemetery.  Following were the pall-bearers:  Mayor C. Brooks
Johnston, W.C. Dickson, W.J. Butt, Walter F. Smiley, E. Camp, S.D. Hope, D.
Blackwood and Augustus Miller.
