WILLIAM A. FERGUSON, physician and surgeon, son of Dr. Eli Ferguson, of
Atchison, who has been a practicing physician for thirty-two years. Was born
in Westmoreland County, Penn., March 16, 1856. After attaining an academical
education, he read medicine with his father, and in 1880 was a graduate of
Jefferson Medical College. He immediately began the practice of his
profession at Atchison, and has been City Physician nearly ever since. Dr.
Ferguson has acquired considerable skill as a surgeon, and in December, 1881,
performed an operation which was truly wonderful, removing a tumor weighing
nearly sixty pounds from a girl fifteen years old, from the effects of which
the patient has fully recovered. The subject of this sketch is medical
examiner for the A. O. U. W. of Atchison, and the National Aid Society at Des
Moines, Iowa. He is a member of the State and County Medical Societies, and
secretary of the latter institution.
