Willam (Bill) Ferguson and Palmira (Etta) Corsi/Ferguson lived at the Garrison Place for approximately 2 years (1946). They moved to the Thomas Place (Mrs. Thomas was an Allison) on the Merritt highway for approximately 5 years (1948) and after that they moved to Etta’s family ranch on Copper Mountain road. At that time the ranch was a dairy farm and they delivered milk to Copper Mountain, Allenby and Princeton. They purchased the ranch from Etta’s family and both Bill and Etta lived on that ranch until they passed.
The mention of Hugh Ferguson has nothing to do with Bill and Etta. Different Ferguson.
