In the country schools of his native county Emory Canda Ferguson began his education, and when sixteen years of age his school life was ended and he entered upon his business career as an apprentice to the carpenter's trade.

In 1884, after disposing of his mercantile interests, he devoted his entire attention to the supervision of his real estate investments, and this work has since claimed his attention.
