Lewis T. Ferriss, an energetic farmer of the township of Colchester South, County of Essex, has one of the best farms in the county. He was born on Lot 58, Concession 5, Feb. 25, 1858, son of Philip and Eleanor (Little) Ferriss, of that township, where the former is now a retired farmer and a prominent citizen. The mother died in 1897, aged seventy-two, in the faith of the Established Church. The father is a member of the Methodist Church. Besides Lewis T., their children were: Herbert, a farmer of Colchester South; Esther, deceased; and Abner, on the homestead with the father.
     Lewis T. Ferriss received a common school education, and remained home until his marriage, when he bought part of the Abner Bidwell farm in the Gore, adding to it from time to time until he now has fifty acres in his home farm and fifty acres south of it. The property he located on was only partly cleared, but he completed the work, erected a handsome brick residence and large barns and other outbuildings. He devotes his land to general farming, making a specialty, however, of raising stock and tobacco, during 1903 planting eight acres in tobacco. His farming operations are very successful, and his fields and premises are in excellent condition, denoting that a masterhand controls every detail. Mr. Ferriss devotes considerable time and attention to buying and selling livestock.
     In politics Mr. Ferriss is a Conservative, although he has never aspired to office. In religion he is a supporter of the Methodist Church. Fraternally he affiliates with the Workmen of Harrow, and is popular in the organization.
     In 1884, in the town of Amherstburg, Mr. Ferriss was married to Nettie Davey, a native of Colchester South, daughter of David and Mary (Norgate) Davey, born in England, who resided in that township for many years. He died Dec. 12, 1903, aged seventy-three, and she in 1881. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ferriss are: Pearl, Orville, David, Arnold (who died at the age of fourteen months) and Hugh.
