A Lawson family lived just across the bridge on the left hand side next to Ross Miller's farm (Rideau Ferry). In fact I think there was a log house there at one time.

His father was a cousin of John Fisher Ferrrier, Alices' father, and at one time they owned the corner block wher the Bank of Commerce is, had a harness making shop there and owned houses back behind on Herriott Street.

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.
