The chief moruners were:
* Robert Ferguson (husband)
* Rachel Hagan and Isabella Graham, England (sisters)
* Walter Glasgow, James Glasgow, Alexander Glasgow (brothers)
* Emily Warwick (daughter)
* John Warwick (son-in-law)
* Margaret E. Warwick and Robert W. A. Warwick (grandchildren)
* Thomas Hagan, W. J. Cahoon, Alex Ferguson, Sam Ferguson (brothers-in-law)
* Isaac Bell, Hugh Ferguson, George Cahoon, Alexander Cahoon, Smith Mitchell (cousins)
* Charles Henry (nephew)
* Thomas Warwick (relative)
Research Notes
Unknown Glasgow(1870) could be her birth record although that would make the censuses out by 3 years.

Not to be confused with a different couple Robert Ferguson/Margaret Henry. That Robert died in 1936.

There were two different couples James Glasgow / Rachel Bell so be careful (other ancestry sites often conflate the two).
