History of Coles Co. says "Myron was seized with the California gold fever which, in 1850, was attracting many youn men from the East to the Pacific Slope. Young Ferguson joined the caravan moving westward, and after reaching California engaged in mining, in which he was fairly successful. After some years he recrossed the Father of Waters and engaged in farming on the old homestead. The mountain air had greatly benefited his health, and he entered with vigor upon the duties which lay before him."
