ATTACK OF TYPHOID FEVER CHANGED MAN'S WHOLE LIFE


Partner Continued on Journey When George Washington Ferguson Took Ili; He Stayed Here and Now He's Dean of Photographers.


ret.


Boonville street back In. 1881. He had a partner then and both! filled With wanderlust, had decided to more on when Mr. Ferguson was stricken. - with typhoid. Ris partner left-he stayed on. And today he In mighty glad that he did. for Springfield han bren his home ever since and lie to satteffert with what his life and his I restdence here have brought him:


-


Born April 4. 1856. near Indianap- alle. young Ferguson moved with his .. .. parenta two years Inter in Louisville. Kr. where his father operated the Four-Mile Tavern."Here he spent hils , early INte, but at the age of 17 years he hrynn rlerktns in a grocery store. · working for lite tard while har at- : tended night school sod commercial college.


An Iluerani Plintographer.


He soon became an adept with the pen". and -taught i panmapship In .0 commercial collect for tarver mouth; Today he exhibits In his studio here' a beautiful drawing of his early days. · Jorge deri, drann on a hiaci. cnid with white Ink. with many fancy nourishes Inserted to make it appear all the finer.


--


For a few years he followed the vo- cation of a penman and an artist, doing considerable free-hand draw. Ing. and then he took up photogra- phy et the age of 21 years. His first act was to join a floating gallery down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. and he spent a year at thie. floating from Louaville to Lake Providence. La. The boat floated along with the current and was guided by sweep : cars over the top.


Photographere were few and far be- ! tween and the traveling "picture takers" spent from two days to elx weeks in each town they visited. Till types were the favorite pictures in those days. In the Oblo river towne the "magnificent" sum of 25 cents each was obtained, but as the float- tnt palace reached the Mississippi Hver and the cotton country, where money was more plentiful, the pho- tographers raised their price to 50 cente.


Sometimes business would get dull. Then Mr. Ferguson would resort 10 ble early teachings and draw "vinlt- ing" cards for 25 cents a dozen. Only


305


a few minutes .were' required for him to turn out an "order.". eren ,though. the, cards, parried, many tang four; Things.


Another thing that stood him good stead in the early days was hie abil- Ity to produce in crayon free hand enlargements of photographs. The average price for these was $15 each. Couldn't Bit still.


' Concluding 'his year's trip on the "floating gallery." Mr. Ferguson re- turned to Louisville and learned that his parents had moved to Springfield. locating on a small farm near town. He came here with & partner, set up. a tent on Boonville street, and then the typhoid attack came.


.. The biggest Improvement he has witnessed during the years he has been engaged In photography, was the change from wet to dry plates, Mr. Ferguson says. In the old dare noth- ing but wet plates were used and it Was necessary to have an exposure of from eight to ten seconde, that ja, a person had to alt perfectly atil! he- foro the camera for ten seconds be- fore the picture was completed. Then Sha Igos was covered with


pleted .. ..


"I remember onos that my subject was'an old lady. I had ber pose beautifully, then I turned my back and counted"in. As I turned back I ww the chair was empty. The lady had got up and was over at the sky- light viewing the scenery. All I got was a good picture of the chair."


This, Mr. Ferguson sald, was only one of his hundreds of experiences. All photographers of the early days found it cepecially difficult to take pictures of bables, as it was almost Impossible to get them to hold a post- tion for ten seconds.


As & diversion from his arduous duties Mr. Ferguson jotned the Springfield volunteer fire . depart- ment, serving from 1882 to 1896. Ho was chief of the department for the last two years, quitting when the de- partment was changed to the pay ba- ats. Derving with him in the old days were Lee Garage, Richard Ever- ett. James Smith, Jack Smades. Joe Worrell and Jeff Gott.


Mr. Ferguson told how he often


Without any explabetodo/icubr jeot. "Returning to his. studio be would find his customer food .?? : . Politics called to Mr. Ferguson end


be served the city as alderman on. two different occasione Stret from the Fourth ward and then from the Bec- ond ward. But, he says, be tired of this.


In 1911 Mr. Ferguson told his studio to Lee 6. Kucker and the transaction Included 80.000 registered negatives, hut he couldn't stay out of the business and soon established studio at 305% South street. He now has 7.500 registered negatives, al- though bie commercial work takes much of his time.
