Although not the first newspaper to publish the information, the front page of The Jasper Weekly Courier on Friday, 1 April 1892 shouted news of the killing with cascading headlines over the description of the event. Our transcriptions of that early article, and four later mentions of additional parts to the story, follow:


The Jasper Weekly Courier, Jasper, Indiana, Friday, 1 April 1892, page 1

A FAMILY FEUD
James Garland Murdered in Crawford County
by His Brother-in-Law, William S. Ferguson


James Thomas Garland, of Crawford County, and William S. Ferguson, of Orange County, brothers-in-law, met on the forenoon of the 25th at the residence of their father-in-law, John R. Pace, three miles south of Birdseye in Crawford County. The meeting appears to have been accidental, and occurred at the gate in front of Pace’s residence. As soon as they met Ferguson demanded of Garland the immediate payment of an old debt claimed to be owing him by Garland. The reply by Garland to this demand was that he was willing to pay anything he honestly owed, but not until a settlement of disputed items had been made.

The declaration of Garland greatly exasperated Ferguson and he immediately made an attack on Garland, striking him in the neck with his fist and knocking him senseless to the ground. Ferguson continued the attack by jumping upon Garland with his knees, frequently repeating this and finally choking Garland, the latter dying while Ferguson had him by the throat.

Finding that Garland was dead, Ferguson lifted the body and carried it into the residence of his father-in-law. He then went out to where his horse was hitched, mounted him and galloped away. The murder, from all the information so far obtainable, seems to have been utterly unprovoked and cold blooded. Both have families. (New Albany Ledger)

Searching for a Murderer


English, Indiana, 30 March. The Garland brothers, who are the brothers of the man killed on 24th (sic) instant near Birdseye by William S. Ferguson of Dubois County, are at the head of a posse of men armed with Winchesters, and scouring that county in search of Ferguson. If caught, Ferguson will be lynched. Rumor has it that Garland and Ferguson had made threats and counter threats to whip each other, but this is hardly supposable on the part of Garland who was just recovering from an attack of measles.

A MURDERER CAPTURED

William S. Ferguson Taken to Dubois for Trial


Princeton, Indiana. Special: William S. Ferguson was captured in this city today. About two months ago he and his brother-in-law, James Thomas Garland, engaged in a quarrel at Birdseye, sixty-five miles east of this city, over an account. It is claimed that Ferguson owed Garland. A scuffle took place and Ferguson grabbed Garland by the whiskers with one hand and with the other pounded him to death. He afterward carried the victim to his yard, washed him and laid him out. He made his escape. It is claimed he has been in hiding in southern Indiana all the time. He is a tough-looking character and is said to be a terror to the locality in which he lived. The good people will no doubt feel relieved over his capture. Judge Lynch may take him in charge when he reaches his destination. He pleaded with the officers not to take him to his home – Dubois County – but he was nevertheless taken to that county this evening. A big reward was offered for his arrest.

A Jasper special says: William S. Ferguson, who a few weeks ago murdered James Thomas Garland, his brother-in-law, who asked him to pay a bill he owed him, was captured this morning near Princeton, Indiana by Sheriff Key and his deputy, James F. McAfee. He was placed in jail here this evening to await trial at the next term of the circuit court, which convenes next Monday.

Marriage*9 November 1918He married, as her second husband, Mary Jane (Crawford) Melrose, daughter of Harry Crawford and Ida Roberta Ashby, on 9 November 1918 in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia.1,2,3,4 
Census US 1930*26 April 1930Mary and Joseph Fernandez were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 26 April 1930 at 2157 Boliver Road, Canton, Stark County, Ohio. They were both 36 years of age, able to read, write and to speak English, and Joseph was employed for wages as a laborer for a Brick Contractor. He had immigrated to the United States in 1912 and had the First Papers for his naturalization. They were both recorded as being 23 years of age at their first marriage, although Mary was about 16 years old when she married her first husband, and 23 years of age when she and Joseph married. They rented their house for $25 per month, and seven children were enumerated with them in 1930. Lewis Melrose, Mary's son from her first marriage, was recorded with the surname Fernandez and was 12 years old; the couple's son, Herman Fernandez, was 10 years old, and he and Lewis had both attended school within the census year and were able to read, write and to speak English.

Also enumerated in the Fernandez household in 1930 was Mary's daughter from her first marriage, Margaret (Melrose) Shook, and Margaret's one-year-old son, Fred Ray Shook Jr.. Margaret was 19 years old, able to read, write and to speak English, and was employed for wages as a Packer in a Bearing Factory. She was recorded as married, although her husband was not with her. We suspect they had separated and were planning to divorce, as Fred married his second wife in August 1934.5,6

His wife, Mary, was 56 years of age and helped their daughter with the home housework. Also enumerated in the Moore household in 1950 were their daughter Alice's two children from her first marriage, Rosemary and Joseph Buch, two of Mary and Joseph's other daughters, Barbara Fernandez and Dorothy (Fernandez) Boggs, a son-in-law, Russell Junior Boggs, and a niece and nephew.7

Birth*1803Henry Ffrench was born about 1803.3 
Marriage Settlement*15 November 1847A Memorial of an Indenture dated 15 November 1847 was made between Henry Ffrench Esq. of Beaupeep in the county of Roscommon of the first part, Margaret Dignan of Enfield in the county of Roscommon aforesaid, spinster, of the second part, and Margaret's brother, Philip Dignan Esq., of Enfield in the county of Roscommon and Richard Kelly Jr. Esq. of the town of Roscommon, in the county of Roscommon, of the third part, regarding the intended marriage of Henry Ffrench Esq. and Margaret Dignan.

Ireland’s memorial deeds are handwritten, and the microfilmed copies are often difficult to read. Additionally, we are uncertain, in some instances, that we have identified the correct townlands. In earlier times, how the name of a townland was spelled depended upon how the initial scribe heard the name pronounced, and then how future scribes interpreted what was written. As a result, the names and spellings of many Irish townlands were spelled differently from deed to deed, book to book and year to year. Attempts to standardize the spelling of Ireland’s townlands began around the turn of the 20th century. A townland’s Barony did not always remain constant, either. Changes were made as populations grew. Our own transcription that follows attempts to identify the correct townlands mentioned in the deed and spell them in the current (2020) standard form. Our placement of quotation marks around a townland’s name means we remain uncertain about our selection of the correct townland, or have used the spelling as we saw it in the deed because we couldn’t find a good guess. Our transcription follows, and we welcome suggestions and corrections:

Reciting as therein and among others, said Indenture witnessed that in consideration of said intended marriage and others, the considerations therein mentioned, she the said Margaret Dignan, with the privity and consent of the said Henry Ffrench, granted, bargained, sold, assigned, transferred and made over unto the said Philip Dignan and Richard Kelly Jr., their executors, administrators and assigns, all that and those two several Judgements for the respective sums of £4,000 and £2,000 obtained against the said Hamilton Gorges by the said Margaret Dignan, and all sums of money due or to become due thereon, and all benefit and advantage thereof.

The prospectus regarding the sale reported the estate of Patrick Dillon, and of solicitor Henry Ffrench Esq. and Patrick's father Richard Dillon, Trustees, in part of the lands of "Clonegrasson, East", known on the ordnance survey as Cloonagrassan, containing 128 acres, 1 rood and 38 perches, statute measure, situate in the Barony of Ballymoe and County of Roscommon, and held in fee simple, was to be sold in one lot on 30 April 1867 at the Landed Estates' Court, Inn's-Quay, in the city of Dublin.

The upland is a good arable soil, held by industrious tenants, who pay their total net annual rents of £68 8s. 5 ½d., punctually. There is a large quantity of bog attached to the lands, which makes them of great value."

The conditions of sale included historical information about the property's most recent previous sale transaction in addition to conditions included in the current sale. It reviewed the Indenture dated 16 June 1863 made between Patrick Dillon's father-in-law, Patrick Trears, of the first part, Patrick Dillon of the second part, and his father, Richard Dillon, and solicitor Henry Ffrench Esq., Trustees, of the third part. It provided, among other things, that Henry Ffrench and Richard Dillon, as trustees, would hold the said lands, premises and hereditaments upon trust, by sale or mortgage of the said premises, to raise the sum of £315 14s. 11d., and pay the same, with all interest due thereon, after the rate of 5%, to Patrick Trears, and his executors, administrators, or assigns, but subject to redemption thereinafter contained.

The conveyance of the owner's interest was to be made by general reference to the life estate, under the said deed of 16 June 1863, and the purchaser was not object to on that account.

The above mentioned mortgage was a charge on the Fee. The purchaser would, therefore, only be bound to keep down the interest thereon; if any further demand in respect thereof was made on the purchaser, he would be entitled to be recouped thereof out of the inheritance.10,11
