Fayetteville, Ark., Jan. 19.- Mrs. Nannie Evelyn Tuttle Ferguson, 78 years old, widely known Washington county woman and mother of Arthur L. Ferguson, prominent Fort Smith business man, died Saturday afternoon at 5:45 o'clock at her home on Lafayette avenue, Fayetteville. Mrs. Ferguson, who has been in ill health for a number of years, developed pneumonia Wednesday and she never rallied until the end came. On December 20, 1921 she fell and fractured one of her hips which made her practically an invalid for the remainder of her life, and on December 16 she was stricken with paralysis. The stroke gradually grew worse and with the development of pneumonia she could not withstand the ravages of the disease. She had lived in Fayetteville practically all her life. She was born in Richland, a small town about twelve miles southeast of Fayetteville, and moved here in 1868 when she married James Andrew Ferguson. She was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal church and was active in both religious and charity affairs until she was injured in 1921. She was also a member of the Southern Memorial association at Fayetteville. In addition to her son in Ft. Smith Mrs. Ferguson is survived by a daughter, Mrs. James Cravens, Houston, Texas; a sister, Mrs. Charles A. Preston, Santa Anna, Calif.; a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wallace Ferguson, Fayetteville; and four grandchildren, Julius A. Ferguson, El Paso, Texas; Helen Augusta Ferguson of Fort Smith; James Rorick Cravens, Houston, Texas; and Malcolm Ferguson Cravens, Houston.
