Catherine was an avid gardener and planted many of the trees and shrubs around her home at 718 Constitution Street in Emporia. During the summer, she daily cut flowers from her garden to decorate her home. At different times during the 1870s and 1880s, most of her brothers and sisters lived with the Ferguson family while they attended the Emporia Normal School or the Emporia Business College. Two of her sisters, Rebecca and Eva, were married in her home. Catherine was in declining health for 16 years, and during the last five years her condition had been critical much of the time.
