Mary in the family’s identification
Family notes identify Mary Ferguson as a sister of Della Mae Ferguson and as one of the relatives in the Ferguson group portrait dated approximately 1905.
The group is believed to include Mary, Della, Nora, two Ferguson brothers and a cousin. The exact left-to-right identifications remain unsettled, so no individual face is assigned to Mary.

Another Hollingsworth connection
The same notes identify Mary as the wife of Jep Hollingsworth. That relationship gives the Ferguson and Hollingsworth families another connection beside Della’s marriage to Edd.
The photograph remains a shared family image, with Mary’s reported presence recorded and its uncertain positions left visible.
