ALONZO G. FERGUSON
Major

Commissioned 1st Lieutenant O.R.C. October 15, 1917, after completing four months training course at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Commanded Co.

Promoted Captain July, 1929; Major July, 1938.
Col. Ferguson was my paternal grandmother's companion at all family functions, or anyplace where a lady required a gentleman escort. I grew up with him as part of my extended family ... a stable, non-cohabitating relationship between widowed seniors.

I have pictures from Col. Ferguson's funeral, with full military honors, that I will be adding Real Soon Now. In the mean time, here are some photographs of him from my grandmother's collection.
