Death of Mrs. Ferguson Stirs Up Memories of Pioneer Days Here OLD SCHOOL BUILDING STILL STANDING AT 139-141 W. SIXTEENTH ST.. WHERE FERGUSON CHILDREN ATTENDED SCHOOL BEFORE ' THE CIVIL WAR. INSET—MRS. ELIZABETH FERGUSON,
By FELIX F. BRUNER Only one railroad: no street cars, nor even mule cars; no paved streets; city limits only five blocks from the main street. This is not a description of Gopher Prairie. It is a description of Indianapolis In 1849. In that year Mrs. Elizabeth Ferguson, with her husband, came to Indianapolis on the only railroad. Mrs. Ferguson saw the growth of Indianapolis from that year until her death Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Larimore. 1526 Ashland Ave. The funeral was held at the Larimore home 'Wednesday. Came on First Railroad Mrs. larimore. herself past 70. told of the early days of the city as re called to her by her parents, and of her own childhood in Indianapolis. She was assisted in her reclt il by Frank McGinnis, 611 E. Sixteenth St., a neighbor and schoolmate. "My mother and father came from their home in Kentucky down the Ohio River to Madison and then boarded a train to Indianapolis, Mrs. Larimore said. "It was the first railroad into Indianapolis.” McGinnis thought the Fergusons traveled only to Columbus by rail—that the road went only that far—and that they made the remainder of the journey by coach, but Mrs. I,arimore said it was all by train. "They bought about two and a half acres of land on Meridian St., near the present site of Twelfth St.” Mrs. Larimore continued “That land cost them $450. I guess it is worth SIOO,OOO or more now. “When the house was built It was farther out than any house In the town. I remember the grocery boys used to complain because they had to come out so far. “North St. was then the corporation line of the city, but the corporation

What 1 Have Learned in 47 Years Practice
I HAVE been watching the results of constipation for 47 years, since I began the practice of medicine back in 1873. I am now 83 years old, and though from time to time the medical profession makes some wonderfully interesting experiments and tests, the fundamentals of causes and relief in this particular ailment are unchanged. But the people take greater interest today in their health, in diet, exercise awl the drinking of water. Constipation, however, will occur from time to time no matter how one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. I believe in getting ns close to nature as possible, hence my remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It i4 made of Egyptian senna and pepsin with agreeable aromatics. (,hildren will not willingly take bitter things. Syrup Pepsin is pleasantlasting, and youngsters love it. It dot* not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written me to that effect. Over 10 million bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin are now sold every year, and it is the most widely bought family Putative in the world. I say family laxative because all in the family can use it with safety. It is mild enough for the infant in arms, effective in the most chronic constipation

was soon extended to Tenth St., then known as First St., and a part of it was known as St. Mary's St.” The McGinnis family lived In the first house north of the Fergusons, built two years after the Ferguson hcNjse. The Civil War Is fc the most vivid event in the minds of McGinnis and Mrs Larimore. “Soldiers,” McGinnis said, "used to march up Pennsylvania St. to Camp Morton. Pennsylvania St. was the oniy open street east of Meridian St., except what Is now Central Ave. It was then a country road, a part of the Pendleton pike." Mrs. Ijarlmore, her brother, Tom, and McGinnis watched the Confederate prisoners being taken to Camp Morton* prison. Once McGinnis looked through the gates of Camp Morton and saw a deserter shot. The Ferguson children and McGinnis went to school on Sixteenth St., between Illinois St., and Capitol Ave., In a building still standing. Talbott Ave. Only a I>ane "Sixteenth St., / was known an Tinker St., because a farmer named Tinker owned all the land in that neighborhood,” Mrs. I-arlmoro said. “Talbott St., was a lano running into the Tinker farm. “There were no free schools in those days. My father paid $9 a term for my brother and me to go to school. There was a school room downstairs and a hall upstairs." Mrs. Larimore said before she went to that school she went to a Quaker school at Delaware and St. Clair Sts. She said the girls sat on one side of the room and the hoys on the other, but that she insisted on sitting with her brother. f / “Os course, they didn’t have pavCd Streets in those days,” she said. “It was necessary to wear rubber boots to cross Washington St.”
of an adult. The formula is on every package. Recently there has been anew wave of drastic physics. Calomel, a mercurial that salivates and loosens teeth, has been revived; salt waters and powders that draw needed constituents from the blood; coal tar disguised in candy form that causes skin eruptions. In a practice of 47 years I have nevtr seen any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin w ill empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping, and without shock to the system. *■ Iveep free from constipation! It lowers your strength 28 per cent, hardens tho arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit, and hope but go to a druggist, and get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It is a generous-size bottle. Take a teaspoonful that night and by morning you will be well. The cost is only aboift a cent, a dose. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, piles, indigestion, loss of appetite or sleep, and to break up fevers and colds. Always have a bottle, in the house, and observe these three rules of health: Keep the head cool, the feet warm, tho bowels open. v LP. S3.
