from Pete Jones, 9-14-08 Ralph, The young aviatrix in the pictures of -Ferguson appear to be of Miss Margaret Ferguson. I've uncovered one item regards a 1930 Colorado plane crash and Im linking it to you: Roots Web She appears to have been 17 years old at the time. I entered into google the search term "pilot Margaret Ferguson killed 1930 Colorado" |

via email from Judy Germann, 9-16-08 Dear Ralph, Yes, this is my Margaret Ferguson. She and my great-grandmother were first cousins. After her death, her parents divorced. I've seen some papers where my grandfather and some of the siblings received a small share of her father's (Walter Ferguson)estate as Margaret was an only child and he was divorced. He apparently owned a great deal of good real estate in the area of present day Tulsa OK. He was originally from Pike Co IN, and her mother, Nellie Bell, was from Gibson Co, IN. I'm afraid I don't have a great deal on them beyond her name and this clipping. Thank you for contacting me - I'm glad to know about the early aviator site. Judy Germann |
