Overview
Daniel Ferguson (class of 1871) was a Hamilton College alumnus who served as a clergyman. He is identified in the Hamilton Life as “Rev. Daniel Ferguson,” indicating he was an ordained minister by 1913.
Relevance to Research
Ferguson appears in a brief social notice in the December 1913 Hamilton Life. The item reports that C.A.E. Ferguson, class of 1904, married Grace Alice Haynes on November 29th, with “Rev. Daniel Ferguson, ‘71, officiating.” He is thus recorded as having performed a wedding ceremony for a younger Hamilton alumnus.
Notes
The source identifies him only as “Rev. Daniel Ferguson, ‘71.” The middle initial “C.” in the assigned name “Daniel C. Ferguson” does not appear in this source and may need to be verified against other records. It is also unclear whether this is the same person as the Wikipedia subject; the corpus mention is limited to a single line in a social notice.
