Died:
*"It was at the house of John McKay that the father, William McKay died in 1890. When I was young they still lived in the original log house, but about 1905 they erected the new brick house wihich is still standing. (1967) The McKay's were not big people though well proportioned, but neither were they small. In his youth I imagine my grandfather weighed about 180 or 185. But the Moodys (sic, Ferriers) must have been tall. John McKay's sons were all slim and tall, many of them well over six feet. In this family were 5 boys and two girls.

William married Amelia Robinson "Martha" Wrathall on 24 Jun 1829 in St James Anglican, Perth, Drummond Twp, Lanark County, Ontrio, Canada. Amelia (daughter of Lupton Robinson Wrathall, III and Rebecca Wayland) was born in 1811 in Haydon, Norfolk, England; was christened on 2 Jan 1811 in Saint Luke, Chelsea, London, England; died on 31 Jan 1898 in Elmsley North Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Rideau Ferry Cemetery, Rideau Ferry, North Elmsley, Lanark, Ontario, Canada.

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.
