Adam Ferrie Strang
ID # 8772, (1836-1860)
| Baptism | Adam Ferrie Strang was baptized on 12 April 1836. |
| Marriage | He married Elizabeth Kinsey, daughter of John Kinsey and Elizabeth Moxley, on 1 November 1856 at Waterloo Township, Waterloo Co.. The Waterloo branch of he Ontario Genealogical Society has extractions of marriage notices that appeared in the Dumfries Reformer of Galt for the years of 1853-1859. This lists the marriage of Adam Ferrie Strang of Doon to Elizabeth KInsey on 1 November, 1856, by Rev. T. J. Hodgskin of the Doon Church. This was said to be at Waterloo. This probably did not refer to the town of Waterloo. Hodgskin was the minister of the Presbyterian churches at Doon and Hespeler, a joint charge. Both were within the bounds of Waterloo Township. We do not know if the marriage was held at the church or at a family residence, and it does seem rather unlikely that it was held at Hespeler considering the intervening distance. The marriage was probably held at Doon. The edition of the Reformer wherein this notice appeared is dated 19 November, 1856. |
| Death | He died on 25 September 1860 at Doon, Waterloo Twp., Waterloo County, Canada West, at age 24. |
| Burial | He was buried at Doon Presbyterian Cemetery, Waterloo Twp.. |
| Note | Adam's gravestone in Doon Presbyterian Cemetery tells that he was born on April 12, 1836, and died on September 25, 1860. The stone is said to be erected by his wife, Elizabeth Kinsey in his memory. The October 3, 1860, edition of the Dumfries Reformer, as transcribed by the Waterloo branch of the OGS, tells that he died at Doon on September 24 of the year. His date of death is taken here from the inscription on his gravestone. The Doon Presbyterian Cemetery was transcribed in 1987 and reread in 2005. The comment was then added that the stone was found broken and lying on the ground in October of 2005. The 1861 census for Waterloo Township has a column for deaths in the previous year and this tells that Adam died at age 25 of consumption (tuberculosis). As noted, Adam has buried with him a daughter, Ada Ferrie. She died in 1861. Also buried with Adam and Ada is Ada's sister Jannet. The transcription of Doon Presbyterian Cemetery shows a stone for Jannet: (Broken stone) Jannet Elizabeth, daughter of Adam and Elizabeth. This is all the information that was available at time of transcription. |
