| Comments: | As was the case with most pioneer towns, Ferron suffered from typhoid an diptheria epidemics. Typhoid broke out in the fall of 1885 and by the following spring word came that two had died of diptheria. By the end of that week, the disease had taken 13 lives, many of which were children. Some families buried several children in a matter of days or weeks. Beautiful pine trees were planted by several different groups throughout the early history of Ferron. A group of women felt that the sparse, uninviting burial hill wasn't the place on which they wanted to bury their loved ones, so they enlisted their husbands to go to the mountains to get pine trees to plant in the cemetery. |
