Alton Evening Telegraph, June 28, 1916:
Mrs. Eliza J. Ferguson, mother of Dexter Ferguson, died at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the home of her son, 409 East Eleventh street, from old age. Mrs. Ferguson lived for many years at the corner of Broadway and George streets in a small brick house there. She had become so attached to the place that even when neighboring industry encroached on her property and there was demand for it for business purposes, she could not bring herself to leave the old place. Not long ago her state of health became such that she found it necessary to be where she could have company, and she went to stay at her son's home. Her end came peacefully after a period of weakness due to old age. She was one of the oldest resident of Alton.
