Brothers Peter L. and George C. Ferguson
George, and his brother, Peter Ferguson,
served together in the first branch presidency under President Giles Vanderhoof
in 1919. Both were raised in Utah, under difficult circumstances, complicated
by alcoholism, resulting in a broken home. George was about 12 years older than
Peter, Peter being the baby of the family. Both moved to Sparks around 1915 with the
Southern Pacific railroad. Peter, as a sheet metal worker/ tin smith and George
as a plumber. Both would later face personal and financial setbacks that would
shake ordinary men, but they were extra ordinary men, especially in their
dedication to the gospel.
The next two blogs are written about George and Peter. Both men are inestimable resources of historical value for the early Sparks Branch of Northern Nevada.
