Biography

Three generations of the Franz Huning/Harvey B. Fergusson family made significant contributions to Albuquerque and to New Mexico in business, town development, politics, tourism, and literature. After spending time on the Santa Fe Trail and throughout New Mexico and Arizona, Franz Huning (1826-1905), an immigrant from Hannover, Germany, settled in Albuquerque and established a number of business operations. He and his wife, Ernestine Franke, had four children: Clara Mary, Arno, Lina, and Elly. In 1887, Clara Huning married Harvey Butler (H. B.) Fergusson, a Southern lawyer and businessman whose career as a politician became tied to New Mexico's statehood. Clara and H.B. had four children, Erna, Harvey, Lina, and Francis, all of whom became successful writers.
