James P Ferguson, witness to the assassination

[Jim Garrett]

Too many Fergusons! In addition, the Maryland Historical Society has a wallpaper fragment from the Presidential Box. Like many of the other pieces of wallpaper in other collections, it is glued to a manila card. On it is written, a statement of provenance and signed by Thomas Fergusen (sp). William Ferguson's family were from Baltimore and had been friends of the Fords and possibly the Booths.er if Thomas and William were related. What make this piece all the more interesting, is that it is in the small collection of documents that belonged to Mary Ann Booth.
