Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 488-489:
Thomas G. Ferriss, the owner and proprietor of the finest and best equipped livery establishment in Windsor, is also one of the city's leading businessmen. He is descended from one of the leading families of the County of Essex...
     Thomas G. Ferriss was born Sept. 7, 1854, on the old Ferris homestead, Colchester Twp, County of Essex, and remained on the home farm until he was twenty years of age. He then made a trip to the North-west and took up a homestead in Manitoba, to which he gave his attention for four years, at the end of this time selling to advantage. Embarking in the real estate business in partnership with N. H. Stevens, of Chatham, and John Rankin, under the firm name of Ferriss, Rankin & Stevens, Mr. Ferriss found a wide field for his energies, and the firm continued to prosper. In 1882 he engaged in the horse business, in which he continued to be interested until 1893, when he disposed of his holdings in the North-west and returned to Windsor. In August the same year, he purchased the livery property of William McGregor, ex-M.P., which was located on the site now occupied by Lamaline Bros.' furniture store. This property was totally destroyed by fire in April, 1900, and although the loss was great, it was a gain to the city for it caused the erection of the present establishment, which is the most commodious, sanitary and best equipped in all Western Ontario. It is located at the corner of Pitt and Ferry Streets, and is 56 x 90 feet in dimensions, three stories in height, with basement, and accommodations on the second floor for the stabling of sixty horses. On the first floor is located the office, and also a complete line of carriages and conveyances of every style, it being the aim of Mr. Ferriss to suit every taste, and to be able to fill any demand made upon him. In addition to this large livery business he deals in horses, buying and shipping and during the South African War he was particularly busy.
     While in the North-west, Mr. Ferriss gave some attention to politics, and served for four years on the council of Portage la Prairie, but since returning to Windsor he has devoted his entire attention to his extensive business. Politically he is a Reformer, and fraternally a member of Windsor Lodge, No. 42, A.F. & A.M., and of the A.O.U.W.
     In 1885 Mr. Ferriss was married, in the North-west, to Miss Emma Smart, daughter of W. R. Smart, of Caledonia, formerly of Scotland, and the children born to this union are: Gordon, Josephine, Paul, Alexander, and Helen and Ruth, twins. Mr. Ferriss is regarded as one of the progressive, enterprising and public-spirited citizens of Windsor, fully awake to modern conditions and capable of meeting them.
