The Narrow Line

We walk a lonely road
Or so I have been told
That life's a lonely journey for us all
But here I'd like to say, somewhere along the way
We choose how we stand and how we fall

For to walk upon this earth, there's a price I have to pay
For all you do and say, and all you hope and pray
And all that you oppose and obey

And all that you believe, and all you laugh and grieve
and what you have become today

And to think the way I do, there's a price I have to pay

Walk the narrow line, walk the narrow line
Walk the narrow line back home
I'll walk until I find, my truth and piece of mind
I will walk the narrow line

Peace will come, your peace will come
When all is said and done
It's only a memory away

And when you find peace, and all your angers cease
Then you'll make some sense of it all
Then the promises of truth, that shone so bright in youth
Give way to greater knowledge as they fall

To be truthful to myself, there's a price I have to pay

Mary Elizabeth Ferris

Mary Elizabeth Ferris born to Thomas and Sarah Ferris in Cambridge, MA on July 7, 1874 was Thomas and Sarah's last child. Mary married Samuel Griffith on August 3, 1893. Working Ancestry and RootsWeb today I researched Mary and Samuel's Census records from 1900 to 1920 and also printed Samuel's WW1 Registration Card. Save all media documentation to Ancestry Tree and also to Ferris Library. Printed hard copies and added to Ferris Family Book. Found and documented children of Mary And Samuel and began to research them. Will continue work on them tomorrow. Also sent message to Ancestry member working on Griffith Tree to see if they want to collaborate.

Researched Robert J Ferris Jr. son of Robert James Ferris Sr and saved Documentation of 1920 Census and SS Death Index to Ferris Library, Ancestry Tree, and hard copy to Ferris Family Book. Will be researching children of Robert and wife Dorothy during this week.

Sarah M Ferris daughter of Robert J Ferris Sr and Sarah born January 18, 1887 in Somerville, MA married Frank Albion Howard. Researched media documentation of them after marriage and added to Ancestry Tree, Ferris Library, and finally hard copy to Ferris Family Book.

Last and Certainly not least I received a great email from David J Ferris of Canada descendant of Charles Alexander Ferris through his son John Ferris. David provided a brief sketch of his branch and promised to compile a tree to send to me. This communication is extremely exciting in that it opens the lines of communication with a new branch of the Ferris Family and confirms information sent to me through what appears to be David's grandmother Ann living in Truro, Nova Scotia.


Received a answer to my message from Tom Corning who is working in Ancestry on the Frank Howard branch. Frank married Sarah Mae Ferris daughter of Robert J Ferris Sr. I am still hoping to collaborate in working this branch of the family from their marriage until present day if Tom is willing.

Well that was a full morning's research on the Ferris Family. I am continuing work on my surname line this week and will continue to code the Summer Version of Goodirishstock.com next week. I have three pages completed and work will continue each week in testing until the it's release as Summer breaks.

Thanks once again to all who follow this project whether you just look on or contribute. I appreciate every piece of data provided me and answer every email, phone call, letter or message sent me. Happy hunting !
