    Died:
    "The same day, word was brought that, on his way to Brockville, William Ferrier had been killed by the wheel of his waggon passing over him. Soon after we were informed that a tree had fallen across the road, and crushed him to death. But a third person brought word that one of the barrels of potash, with which the waggon was loaded, had rolled over him and crushed his head. Now it turned out that none of these accounts was correct, for the tree, which had fallen across the hinder part of the waggon, had caused the fore part to fly up and strike him under the chin, breaking his jaws, and perhaps his neck, as he sat at the front of the waggon. He died about half an hour after the accident, at Jebbs creek."

    "What his parents and relations, but especially his poor wife felt, on hearing these things, I shall not attempt to describe. He was a young man in the prime of his life, about 25, but much addicted to drinking, after the example of his father, with whom he often quarrelled when in liquor, and once he struck and hurt him considerably.

    "The distress of the parents was much increased by the learning, about the same time, that their only daughter, a fine girl of about 20, but both deaf and dumb, was with child by a great boy the eldest son of their next door neighbour. ?i?(This story continued with the Agnes Ferrier story.)?/i?

    "Next morning I rode to their house, which was five miles off, to afford them all the consolation in my power. The body of William had just been brought home. The blood had beeen washed away, but the face was disfigured, and had a ghastly appearance. His parents expressed their grief by sighs and groans, but the poor widow embraced the inanamate corpse, and kissed its cold lips, sobbing out, William! My dear William, little did I think we were so soon to part. After the body was placed in the coffin all sat down, and I addressed them on the best means of improving the distressing event that had brought us together, and prayed that the Lord would prepare us all for death, for judgement, and eternity, that he would comfort and support the parents, and provide for the widow and her fatherless children. On the following day I attended the funeral, and made an address to the people at the grave, but a very heavy rain compelled me to cut it shorter than I intended.

    It is interesting that the IGI research in Dad's file there is another Abraham Ferrier shows up, married to Charlotte McGlashan. Their children are born in a simultaneous time frame to Abraham and Christina. I suspect that Alexander Ferrier;s father, might have had a brother who named a son Abraham also.

    Died:
    On the morning of our communion Sabbath, in December, when I went over to the church I was informed that Ab Ferrier, the evening before, going home from Perth drunk, had been killed by his wagon running over him. The night was very cold, and the road rough, and there being no box to the wagon, his furious driving threw him off, and the wheel passing over his neck killed him on the spot. I had often tried to induce this man to become sober, but without effect. He even told me one day, after Mr. Wilson came here, that he could now take a glass in spite of me.
