Here he lived untiL 1857, The family waa one of the few Catholiut then In this territory. Mr. Ferry helpeh to erect the old St. Mary' church at FJghth and Howard street, the flrxt Catholic church, and probably the first church building of any denomination in Omaha. In 1853 he in partnership with an F.ngllhman named Jenkin, laid th foundation for the old state capitol where the high school building now itands. In 1857 the family moved out from Omaha to a farm near what is now the village of Elkhorn,- There he lived until 1803 when the family re moved to Boine City, Idaho.

' A daughter, Margaret, born during his first yenr's residence, was probably the first white child born within the future city.

S. Grim of the M. E. parsonage. The little girl had been a patient sufferer for about two week with an attack of cholera infantum and little hope was held out for her recovery right from the start. Five different physicians saw the little one and nil were of the same opinion, that the disease had such a grasp upon the little girl that it would not yield to treatment, and after two weeks of suffering the little spirit was released at 4:30 o'clock last Tuesday morning. A brief service was held at the family residence at 2 o'clock Wednesday after noon, and the remains placed aboard the evening train and conveyed to Port land, Ore., for interment.
