DRAGGED BY BOLTING HORSE: 23 Jul 1950
Narracoorte Herald (SA : 1875 - 1954), Thursday 23 March 1950, page 1
Eleven-Year-Old Boy Seriously Injured
DRAGGED BY BOLTING HORSE
An eleven-year-old boy was admitted to Naracoorte Hospital in a serious condition on Tuesday night after he had been dragged 350 yards by a bolting horse.
The victim was Sandy Ferguson, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Ferguson, of Keppoch.
Young Ferguson and his four-year-old brother had saddled the horse and were about to round up stock on their father's property. The older boy was wearing a rubber-type rain sheet which was flapping in the strong wind. This is believed to have frightened the horse and caused him to unseat the lads, but Sandy's foot became entangled in the stirrup, and the frightened horse careered in the direction of the homestead.
Mr. Ferguson was in a shed at the time and heard the horse galloping towards the yard and was just in time to see his boy strike a post, and at the same time clear his foot from the stirrup.
The injured lad was rushed to the Naracoorte Hospital, and although not then unconscious, he later fell into a coma. He was suffering from a broken nose, fractured upper jaw, and a severe cut under the arm. In addition all his front teeth were knocked out.
A successful operation was performed yesterday morning, and although the boy was still seriously ill, his condition was reported to be improving. This afternoon young Ferguson had shown still further improvement.
The young boy was not injured.
Colin married Corrine McColm FIELD, daughter of Arthur Henry FIELD and Beatrice Sarah McCOLM.

Mal Ferguson an Electrical Fitter employed by Hamersley Iron at East Intercourse Island owes his eyesight to a pair of safety glasses. On December 2, Mal was engaged in replacing a module to the 415 volt M.C.C. panel in the dumper substation. A separate panel between the modules was
missing and during the replacement, Mal accidentally caused a short across three live 300 amp fuses contained in the lower module. The resultant flashover caused burns to Mal's face, arms and hands. The safety glasses worn by Mal were extensively damaged with the front lens surface actually melting. Because of his glasses no eye damage was received. Mal had, just two days previously attended a talk by Lawrie Walsh the Technical Training Manager of Protector Safety Products Pty. Ltd., (see-story this page, ,'Top Eye Protection Man Visits Dampier'), where the importance of wearing eye protection at all times was stressed. In hospital after the accident Mal could only express his gratitude that he had taken the advice given and worn his glasses even though he was working in the comparatively safe area of a substation.
Mal will be nominated for a Wise Owl Award.
Our latest member to the 'Wise Owl' club, Mal
Ferguson suffered burns to the upper half of his
body in a freak electrical accident, whilst fitting
a module into a spare space on the 415 volt MCC
panel in the dumper Sub-station at East Intercourse
Island.
After removing the blanking plate, Mal found
that there was no separator plate between the
module and the spare area. After obtaining a sep-
arator plate, Mai tried it for size and in doing so,
caused a short across three live 300 AMP fuses,
contained in the bottom module and to earth.
The resultant flash over caused burns to Mal's
face, hand and arms and set fire to his synthetic
shirt causing further burns to his body.
He spent a month in Royal Perth Hospital burns unit.
Serious eye injury was avoided because he was
wearing the correct safety glasses.

Eulogy - From Brent Winen: 18 Apr 2019, Barmera, S.A.
Today I just wanted to share a few good memory's I had about grandpa
I will always remember grumps as a man of few words who always put others first
As kids he would drop what ever he would be doing to help any of us out, whether that was to get the tv going, to fix something we may have broken or just to spend time with us.
Grumps was the man to see if you wanted a quick sip of a beer while no one was watching.
We have many great memories of spending time with grumps, many weekends spent at Kingston at the shack with him and granny, I can still remember being able to sit in the boat while he towed us to the beach with his tractor.
And more recently being able to spend time with him listening to many great stories
Grumps had many great qualities and was a fantastic role model for us grandkids.
He was a hard worker (I can still remember seeing him on top of the silo roof in Bordertown on our way home from school)
He was a great family man, I can think of many times he would be sitting down watching the telly relaxing and you would hear "Stewart" ring out from the kitchen and he would jump strait up to help out.
There are very few memories of him getting angry, but the ones we do have are hard to forget because if he was angry! You stuffed up big time, like the day Mitchell cut brionys long hair
And most of all his positive outlook on life! Even these last few weeks he never failed to put smiles on faces with his funny 1 liners that lifted everyone's spirts
I'm sure grumps would be proud of all of us and I hope we enriched his life as much as he did ours!
Eulogy - Kelly Ferguson: 18 Apr 2019, Barmera, S.A.
It's an honour to say a few words today ..
Stuart Charles Ferguson was the first son of Peter and Lorna Ferguson, born on the 18th of January 1941, in Naracoorte.
Apart from a short period of time spent in Renmark on Peter's return from the war, the family lived in Lucindale. Stuart's only brother, Terry, was born in 1946 and by now the family were living on a scrub property they had purchased from Lorna's family.
This was on the outskirts of Lucindale, where they cleared the land and bred cattle.
Stuart loved his childhood on the farm. He and Terry were close to their cousins and they made many memories together. Well known as an accomplished horseman, Stuart rode his horse to school and home each day. Family holidays were spent at Nora Creina fishing and crayfishing, sparking a long love of fishing.
Stuart began his first job as a Stock Agent and loved the time on the road and in the stockyards. He made many friendships throughout these years, and his love of a Southwark long neck was born.
Stuart played the bagpipes for the Naracoorte Pipe Band and later for the Port Pirie Pipe Band when living in Kadina. He enjoyed a scotch, straight from the bottle, while playing the pipes, insisting that the alcohol kept the bag soft.
While working in Bordertown as a Stock Agent with Goldsbrough Mort, he met Margaret Price. By the time they became engaged Stuart had moved to Jamestown and a long distance romance continued. Margaret recalls asking him to send her a BIG letter and so he did, it was A3 size!! She then said she had meant a LONG letter. The next mail brought a letter written along the length of an adding machine roll. He always had a sense of humour.
Finally, Stuart and Margaret were married on the 15th of February 1964, in the Bordertown Methodist Church
The newly-weds settled in Kadina, and within a few years Mardi was born. An opportunity arose to return to Bordertown and purchase half of Margaret's parent's property at Wirrega. They settled, and built a home on the farm with cereal crops and an intensive piggery. James, and then, David were born, and the family was complete.
Stuart was a wonderful, placid and loving father who rarely raised his voice and preferred to let Margaret do the chastising. Mardi, James and David have endless memories of their childhood on the farm, never far from his side. This time was spent, on the tractor, lighting fires, in the shearing shed or the piggery.
Summer holidays were always spent at the shack in Kingston and Stuart loved making sure everyone had a feed of King George Whiting or Snook. He developed a love of sailing and bought himself a 24 foot yacht, then set about teaching himself to sail, winning first place in a couple of local sailing events, not that he ever was one to gloat.
Stuart was all about having fun, and the family enjoyed camping in the scrub just down the road at Harding's Springs or at the Grampians. Margaret recalls one particularly hairy moment, when Stuart ignored the well beaten path and dragged the kids up the sheer side of the Elephant's Hide. However, the most memorable holiday, the caravan trip to Queensland, fondly known as 'The Year of the Sandwich'.
Stuart loved gliding through these years and spent most weekends at the Gliding Club, either flying, ground crewman or carrying out maintenance. He was Chief Ground Engineer, for some years, and both he and Margaret loved the gliding community and competitions they travelled to.
Stuart and Margaret sold the farm in 1984, at which time they moved into Bordertown and began their Deli adventure. They bought and worked Ferg's Deli for 10 years, which was as 7 day a week, 12 hour a day business. Although the deli had its drawbacks, this time saw them make some of their dearest friends and memories.
After 10 long years, it was time for a change, and they sold the Deli and Stuart began a job with SACBH. First he held a position as a Site Manager at Wirrega and Cannawigra silos and then carrying out Area Site Maintenance for the region. Stuart retired at the age of 65 and their caravanning adventures began.
Stuart and Margaret lapped the country more than once, setting off on an adventure for many months each year. They made friends all over Australia and still stay in touch to this day.
In 2018, Stuart and Margaret sold up their Bordertown home and moved to their little unit in Berri. Stuart never stopped his love of learning, hardly a gadget he didn't own. His inquisitive mind, interested in all subjects, meant he was well read and knowledgeable on a huge range of topics.
Margaret, a beautiful cook, would always have Stuart looking over her shoulder, stirring the pot and offering advice. He loved to cook and after retirement, loved nothing better than testing a new recipe or cooking apparatus. He could make the best pancakes or homemade crumpets, cooking with dough his specialty. The kids still remember his Kitchener buns from their childhood.
Stuart was much loved by his wife, Margaret, 3 children and their partners, 10 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren, very fondly known as Grumps.
He always put others first and even in his final days, kept us amused with his witty one liners, his sneaky little smiles and subjected us to hours on end of SBS food channel.
We will all miss him enormously.
