Ferrier was suddenly seized with illness that night and death followed early on Saturday morning the news of which caused a great shock to his wide circle of friends and acquaintances in Perth and surrounding district.

In his earlier days he resided in the United States, later returning to Perth and for years engaged in business at the corner of Gore and Herriott streets, and afterwards on Wilson street West and his products had a wide sale. Deceased was of a quiet and retiring disposition but enjoyed the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact either in a business or friendly way. Deceased was a member of St. Andrew's Church in long standing and in which he was a faithful and constant worshipper. Surviving are his wife, formerly Miss Katherine Buffam of Fallbrook, two sons Messrs. Bertrand and Byron of Perth, three daughters, Miss Helen of Perth, Mrs. Leister and Miss Anna of Toronto, one sister, Mrs. Thomas Gibbons of Brockville, and one brother, Mr. William Ferrier of Perth. The funeral was held from his late residence on Monday afternoon to Elmwood Cemetery. Rev. Dr. Scott conducting the services. The pallbearers were Messrs. G.G. Farmer, Peter Hope, W.J. Rabb, W.J. Flett, T.J. Devlin and John Croskery.

    Notes:

    (Research):Alice Miller letter 5 Nov 1970 to Rodney ?
    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.

    Bert L. Ferrier, a grandson.
    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.
