| Newspaper Mention | 13 November 1930 | The 13 November 1930 edition of the Courier-News, Plainfield, Union County, New Jersey, reported Elizabeth Bureau: The will of Miss Ella L. Ferris of Westfield, probated before Surrogate George H. Johnston in the court house yesterday, names a sister, Mrs. Mary F. Pearsall of Ferris place, Westfield, as principal beneficiary. Miss Ferris died Oct. 20. Two $1,000 bequests are contained in the will. One is to Mrs. Pearsall and the other to the Women's Aid Society of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Westfield. The residuary estate is to go in equal parts to the nine children of Mrs. Pearsall. The share of Harriet Pearsall, deceased, is to be used for a suitable monument for Miss Ferris in the Fairview Cemetery. Bequests of furniture, belongings, were made to Ethel P. Deaver, Helen Pearsall, Eleanor P. Shoemaker, Katherine P. Ligget [sic] and Virginia L. Pearsall. [Note: The reference to the share of Harriet Pearsall, deceased, may be to her deceased sister, born in 1853, and died at age 6. Or maybe it was to place a suitable monument for her niece, Harriet Wheelock Pearsall, who had died in 1923, and maybe "Miss Ferris" is an error that should have been "Miss Pearsall".] |
