  	James G. Ferrier One of the oldest descentents of the original Scotch Line settlers passed away on March 9, 1987 in the person of James G. Ferrier. He was born May 17, 1891 at Cartwright, Manitoba, the eldest son of Abram and Eva (Cunningham) Ferrier, who were pioneers in the Chesterville settlement of southern Manitoba. The family returned to the east in 1904 to the original area where the Ferrier settlers were given their land grants in 1816. Jimmie remained a farmer for the balance of his life, until the years took their toll and in 1985 he went to Lanark Lodge. He was physically and mentally active with an amazing knowledge of events dating back to the early settler days, many people coming to him for historical facts of the area. In 1926 he married Ida Lewis of Drummond Township, who passed away November 14, 1976. He was also predeceased by his younger brother Roy and a half sister Mae Bell Wilson of Carleton Place. He is survived by two sisters, Katherine Millar of Lanark Lodge and Amy Taggart of Renfrew, and one son, Norman and his wife Helen, four granddaughters, Debra Murphy, Carolyn Pierman, Barbara Stinson, Beverley Ferrier, and two great-grand-daughters Bailey and Allison Pierman. He was a member of St. Paul's United Church. Funeral Service was conducted in Blair and Son Chapel, March 11, 1987 by Rev. John Montgomery with Interment in Scotch Line Cemetery. Pallbearers were Ken Lewis, Ross Taggart, Sam Kelford, Howard Dodds, Francis Mackler, and Harold McLaren. The many beautiful flowers and donations were an indication of the high esteem in which he was held. Miller Clipping File
