60 candles on Ferguson Insurance anniverary cake - open house Friday
By Monty Siekerman
Ferguson Insurance Agency will celebrate its 60th anniversary with an open house from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, July 22, at the office, 1356 Township Road 35 (St. Paul Road). All are welcome.
Ruth and John Ferguson started the agency in 1956. They were joined by their son, Fred, in 1978. John died in 1995 and Jamie Hazelton, Fred's daughter, joined the agency in 1996 and remains there today.
The Hazeltons live on the 60 acre farm where the business is located, northwest of Ada. She and her husband, Chad, are the parents of six children. The family raises many kinds of farm animals.
Joe Ferguson, son of John and Ruth, joined the agency in 2003 after retiring from Meritor in Kenton.
Fred died in 2005 and Laura Ferguson, Joe's daughter, joined the agency after serving 27 months in Bangladesh with the Peace Corps and six months with Save the Children USA.
Ruth died in 2013. Joe, Laura, and Jamie remain with the company.
The agency handles auto, home, life, farm, commercial, health, Medicare supplements...even classic cars.
The owners of the company enjoy the person-to-person contact they can offer and the loyalty of their customers over several generations.
They invite you to the open house on Friday, visit with them, and enjoy some refreshments.
