  	"March 21, 1863 - Thomas Ferguson and Hugh Hunter here today asking for the privilege of a grave at the church for old Mrs. Ferguson who died yesterday at her son Allan's. I gave them a grave beside J. Baillie." An impressive number of sleighs (15) attended her funeral. This graveyard has recently been restored with a fence and large granite marker giving the history of the St James Ferguson Cemetery. Kenwell Ferguson and Amelia Jean Ferguson were instrumental in doing this. Source:  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onlanark/NewspaperClippings/Mason/FergusonOne.htm
