CHARLES D. FERGUSON, M.D.
Vol. 3, p. 1098

As specialists in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat probably
no firm of medical practitioners in Oklahoma enjoys a better
reputation and a larger practice than that of FERGUSON and Ferguson.
These are two capable physicians, both men of broad experience
in general as well as in special fields of practice, with fine
endowment of natural ability and broad and liberal training both in
America and abroad. Dr. Charles D. Ferguson is the junior member of
the firm, and joined his brother in practice at Oklahoma City in 1907.

Charles D. Ferguson was born at Port Stanley, Ontario, in 1874, a
son of Dugald and Sarah (SHEARER) Ferguson. His father was born in
Canada of Scotch parents and his mother was a native of Pennsylvania.
The Fergusons were pioneers in Western Ontario, having come from
Argyleshire, Scotland. Dugald Ferguson was reared in Ontario, and
spent his entire active career as a progressive farmer.

Dr. Ferguson attended the public schools of Port Stanley and the
collegiate institute at St. Thomas, Ontario. In 1901 he was graduated
M. B. from the University of Toronto, and with this equipment he came
to the United States and began practice at Cameron, Texas. That was
his home for about six months, following which for about two years he
was house surgeon for the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Hospital at
Temple, Texas. For three and a half years he did a general practice
at Silsbee, Texas. Like his brother, Doctor Ferguson was early led to
specialize in practice, and in 1907 gave up his business in Texas in
order to take post-graduate work for six months at the Eye, Ear, Nose
& Throat Infirmary at Chicago, and in the New Orleans Post Graduate
Hospital. In 1910 he again interrupted his practice in order to
pursue his studies and observations in the Royal Ophthalmic Hospital
in London, England. Doctor Ferguson joined his brother, Edward S., at
Oklahoma City, and together they have confined their attention to
their specialty in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat.

Doctor Ferguson is a member of the Oklahoma State and County Medical
societies and the American Medical Association. He is affiliated with
the Masonic order, the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, and belongs to the Oklahoma City Golf and
Country Club and the Oklahoma City Men's Dinner Club. In June, 1910,
he married Miss Maud MUNSON. Her father is William B. Munson of
Denison, Texas, one of the most prominent men in the northern part of
that state, long identified with the real-estate business and also a
banker at Denison. Doctor Ferguson and wife, who have no children,
reside at 309 West 16th Street. His offices are in the State National
Bank Building.
