A life, recovered

Nora Ferguson Hibdon

Nora among the Ferguson family

01

The sister remembered in the group

Family notes identify Nora Ferguson as Della Mae’s sister and as one of the relatives in the circa-1905 Ferguson portrait.

The surviving family description names Nora, Della, Mary, two Ferguson brothers and a cousin. It does not yet establish each person’s position, so the image is presented as a group rather than an individual portrait of Nora.

02

The Hibdon branch

Nora was later remembered as the wife of Oscar Hibdon. Her profile keeps the Hibdon connection alongside the Ferguson family name.

The known relationship and the shared photograph preserve a place for her without filling the gaps in her adult story with guesses.
