Ferguson, better known to his many friends as Pete Spence, were married at the Webster Springs ranch yesterday, by Judge Hinson Thomas. Both the bride and groom have lived in this part of the territory for many years, Ferguson having come to Globe in 1875. For some time, however, he has lived in Mexico, meeting Mrs. Ferguson on his return and reviving an old friendship which soon united the couple at the Hymeneal [marriage] altar."
