- Mrs. Mervyn Ferrier
The sudden passing of Louise Ferrier on December 14 at her home on the Scotch Line, saddened her family and friends. Although she had not enjoyed good health for the past year, she continued to carry on her work in her usual cheerful manner.
Born on the Third Line of Bathurst near Glen Tay, Louise was the eldest daughter of the late R. M. Rudsdale and Lillian Dodds. She received her education at Glen Tay School, Perth Collegiate and Perth Business College. She also studied music and was an accomplished pianist and singer.
Married to Mervyn Ferrier in 1923, the couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on August 25 this year at their farm where they lived their entire married life.
Left to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother are her husband and two sons and three daughters, Arthur, Scotch Line; Keith, Edmonto; Dorothea (Mrs. Jack Tysidck), Wemyss; Jean, at home, and Helen (Mrs. Leonard Stead) of Welland. She is also survived by one sister, Margaret (Mrs Vernon Wood) and one brother, Bill Rudsdale.
Six grandchildren, Cheryl and Terry Stead, Dianne and Jimmy Tysick, and Judy and Randy Ferrier will miss her loving generosity. By her cheerful manner, she made her home a welcome place to all.
A Member of St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, she attended services regularly. In 1957 she was made an honourary Life Member of the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canad for which she had been a faithful worker for many years.
A lover of flowers, her home always displayed an array of blooming plants. She wa a member of the Ladies Division of the Perth Fair Board until the past year, an association she enjoyed very much.
Her largely attended funeral was held from Blair and Son Funeral Chapel where her Minister, Rev. Gillanders, gave a comforting message. Her favourite hymn, "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder" was sung during the service.
Pallbearers wer William Allan, George Consitt, Orville Ferrier, Ernest Miller, William Moodie and Ray Poole. Burial took place in Scotch Line Cemetery.
The many beautiful flowers and donations to the Bible Society and Heart Fund in her memory, and expression of sympathy testified to the love and esteem in which she was held by her friends.

- Ferrier - Rudsdale
A very happy event took place at the home of Mr and Mrs R.M. Rudsdale on the 3rd line of Bathurst, on Tuesday, Septemger 4th, 1923, at the hour of 11 o'clock a.m., when their eldest daughter Miss Louise Hildred Rudsdale was united in marriage to Mr. George Mervyn Ferrier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. F. Ferrier of the Scotch Line, the ceremony being solemnized by Rev. J.H. Miers, B.D., minister of Knox Church.
The bride was given away by her father, while the young married couple were supported by Mr. Aleander Alfred Ferrier and Miss Margaret Rudsdale. The groom's gift to the bride was a pearl necklace, to the bridesmaid, an onyx brooch, to the flower girl a string of beads.
During the signing of the register, Mrs Harold Ferrier sang "Until" very acceptably, after which the assembled guests, who were all immediate relatives, sat down to a very sumptous dinner, during the course of which the usual toasts were proposed and responded to.
The newly married couple left on the 1:45 train for Toronto where they spent the balance of the week, returning on Saturday.
An unique feature of the event was, that they were accompanied on their wedding trip by Mr and Mrs Ernest Ferrier, of Montrea, who were married on the previous Saturday. Many valuable presents testify to the great esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Ferrier were held in the community.
They will take up their residence on the Scotch Line upon their return, followed by the good wishes of their many friends.
The bride's wedding gown was of white canton crepe and she carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses and maiden hair fern. Her travelling suit was navy tricotine, mink fur and hat to match.
