Forty years ago the sixth day Of
April he was married to Miss Annie
O'Mara, of Philadelphia, who survives
him. No children were ever born to
them. He had a brother in Montana
and one in San Francisco. George
Ferris was the youngest of a family of
ten and his father lived to the age of
a6 years. Mr.. Ferris bought lots at
Wildwood some fifteen years ago and
eight years ago he built the cottage in
which he died. Soon after he located
here he was elected constable and bor-
eugh marshal, as we'll as night watch
man. These positions he filled with
fidelity, being reelected each year.
During his residence in Wild wood MIR.
Ferris endeared himself to the people of
the town. A true friend, a sober, honest
man, a good neighbor, and a kind hus-
band can well be said of him.
Many friends viewed the body at his
late home on Monday evening. The
funeral service was held at St. AIMS
Catholic church yesterday morning at
nine O'Clock, conducted by Father
0'Mara, a nephew of Mrs. Ferris, assis-
ted by Father Maroney, rector of the

George Ferris Laid to Rest

In the death of George Ferris, which
occurred at his home on Park emu
on Wednesday night, April %, 1906,
N1ld WOO loses one of its best and
most substantial citizens. Mr.. Ferris
had been in falling health for several
months and for the past month or so
was unable to attend TO his duties as
night watchman. lie was out on the
street a week before his death, but it
was not believed that the end was SO
near. He has long suffered from kid
ney trouble and to that disease may be
attributed his death.
Mr.. Ferris was born 66 years ago in
ireland. AT the age of seventeen, his
parents being dead, he came TO America
and located in Kepsington in Philadel-
phia. Soon after he landed in this
country the civil wal broke out and he
enlisted in the Nineteenth L. S. Reg
ulars. He served throughout the whole
war. At the battle of Chickamauga he
was taken prisoner and was confined
for fifteen months in the Libby, Dan
vile aud Andersonville prisons. In
one of these Confederate prisons he
withothers attempted to escape through
n tunnel, and being discovered, was
put in irons and transferred to another
prison. AT the close of the war he re-
turned to Philadelphia and opened a
shoe store, being in business about a
quarter of a century in the vicinity of
twelfth and Richmond streets.
