The Ferguson Family Cemetery is located on private property in Fergusonville, on the north side of CR 9 opposite the Fergusonville Academy. We spoke with the owner of the property and he graciously showed us the burying ground at the top of a knoll behind his residence. Other good news is that he intends to restore the grounds and re-build the encircling fence this summer. After that is accomplished, we will have some up-to-date photos to share. --Joyce Riedinger, April 3, 2017

Joyce Note: obvious error in MA given as State for Davenport instead of NY.
Melancholy.--Two young ladies of the Charlotte Seminary, at Davenport, Mass., and a Mr. Strain, were drowned at that place recently. The girls, with two others, were taken from a bath house by a lad of 16, and while crossing a pond, one of them rocked the boat so that it filled with water. They supported themselves by holding on to its sides while the lad swam ashore for help, when Mr. Strain swam out to them. Two fastened themselves to his clothes, and when about fifteen feet from the shore he exclaimed, 'Oh, my back!' and sunk with his charge. The others were saved, as all would have been, had not Mr. Strain gone to their aid. He had a lame back and was probably seized by cramp. He has left a wife and eight children. The parent's of the girls, Messrs. Ferguson and Cirill, reside in New York.

Ferguson Hannah Ann 15 F NY Jul drowned ---

And tread the sapphire floors of Paradise,
All darkness wiped from their refulgent brow,
Sin, sorrow. suffering, banished from their eyes;
Victorious over death, to them appears:
The vista'd joys of heaven's eternal years!
