As printed in 1881

FERGUSON S. T., manager of Coshocton Cominonwealth, of the firm of Ferguson Bros., pub- Mshers and general job printers; born in Plarrison county, Ohio, August 24; 1848; resided there until between sixteen and seventeen years old, when he enlisted in the One Hundred and Eighty-fifth O. V. I., and served as a private in Company I until the close of the war, then served on the Pan Handle railroad in the capacity of brakeman, freight conductor and passenger conductor, for over eleven years. He was married in January, 1874, to Miss Maggie Ferguson, of Canonsburgh,Pennsylvania,and has one child — Carrie, who is now six years of age. In the year of 1878 he left the railroad and engaged in the foundry and machine business at Newcomerstown, Ohio, and was burned out shortly after engaging in that business, when he located at Coshocton, Ohio, and is one of the partners of that popular sheet called the Coshocton Comnwnwealth. The paper was started on January 1, 1880, the most inauspicious time for such an enterprise, but, through his efficient management, it has been entirely successful, and reached the acme of excellence, and far surpassed the expectations of the proprietors. It will, in the near future, become the paper of Coshocton county.
