From Yvonne Ferguson 6.2000
we talked to jean and bob on the phone. and jean thinks they,minnie and john a. ferguson were buried at Rosehill cemetary, in Santa Ana, Ca. the family came out to calif. with all the other okies,to get out of the terrible dust bowl. and looked for work.
jean thinks elmer , jess's brother is also buried at rosehill. Elmer had 3 kids by his first wife,minnie and john raised them,
as his second wife rose didn't want kids. jean said one of them (jack) lives in wichita. maybe he has a computer?????
they really don't know much about the old folks.
Michele Meador 10.1.2000: John and Minnie Ferguson were buried in Rose Hills Cemetery in Whittier CA. I wrote the cemetery for information, and received the following: John buried Grave 2, Lot 2645, Mountain View Lawn - Mortuary was Utter McKinley-Beaver's Mortuary, Inglewood CA. Minnie buried Grave 3, Lot 2645, Mountain View Lawn - Mortuary was Dunaway Funeral Home, Hawthorne CA. Is there anyone in the Los Angeles area who could contact the funeral home to see if they have listed John's place of birth, parents, siblings, etc? Also, I wonder who is buried in Grave 1 next to them?

Grave 3, Lot 2645, Dunaway Funeral Home, Hawthorne, CA

Jack Lee Ferguson said they used to make ice cream at Minnie's all the time.
I don't know. However, a lady in Wright Co MO who does a genealogy column is looking for that info for me. Maybe she'll come up with something. It never made sense to me that she would have been born in either Joplin or Neosho, because everything we have found on her parents has them in Cedar, Polk, or Dade Co's of Missouri, and it's a good ways from there to the western edge where those towns are.
