Brooklyn Eagle, 13 April 1896, page 5. Death of Mrs. Cornelius Fergueson. Mrs. Cornelia Fergueson, wife of Cornelius Fergueson, ex-supervisor of the old town of New Utrecht, died yesterday morning at her home on Cropsey and Twenty-first avenues, Bensonhurst, of apoplexy. Mrs. Fergueson had been an invalid for a year, suffering from paresis. She was able to be about at times and has been well enough to go out of doors. Her condition was apparently unchanged up to 4 o'clock yesterday morning, when she was stricken with apoplexy. She never regained consciousness and lived but seven hours. The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the house. The interment will be at the convenience of the family. Mrs. Fergueson was Cornelia Van Wicklen and was born at Middle Village, L.I. fifty eight years ago. Her father was Garret Van Wicklen, a descendent of the early dutch settlers. At the age of 16 she became the wife of Cornelius Fergueson, and a year or two later they moved into the old town of New Utrecht where they have since lived. Mrs. Fergueson possessed an exceptionally pleasing and happy disposition. She leaves three sons and two daughters, all grown up. They are Cornelius Fergueson, Jr.; Daniel F. M. Fergueson, Hugh Fergueson; Mrs. Frederick Green, and Miss Helen Fergueson.
