Death of George Ferrier, Sr. - After a painful illness of nine months' 
duration, George Ferrier, Sr., one of the best known and most popular 
citizens of New Orleans, died at his home in that city last Sunday evening, 
the 13th instant, and his remains were laid to rest the following afternoon 
in the family vault in St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, the funeral being conducted 
under the auspices of the Catholic church, of which he was a devout member. 
Mr. Ferrier was a native and lifelong resident of New Orleans, where he was 
born May 9, 1852. For eighteen years after reaching manhood's estate he was 
engaged in the cotton exporting business and was a prominent member of the 
Cotton Exchange. In 1893 he became connected with the old Citizen's Bank, 
and remained in the banking business thenceforth, filling the post of 
assistant cashier of the Hibernia Banking and Trust Company for a number of 
years immediately preceding his death. His unswerving integrity, genial 
disposition and warm attachment to his family and friends won for him the 
admiration, friendship and love of all with whom he was associated, and 
there are few men in New Orleans whose passing away could cause more 
widespread regret and sorrow then his.

The nearest relatives bereaved by his loss are the heart-broken widow, 
Louise Peychaud Ferrier; two sons, George Ferrier, Jr., clerk of the city 
council, and Auguste Ferrier; two daughters, Mrs. Henry G. McCall, nee 
Louise Ferrier, and Mrs. Joseph F. Simpson, Jr., nee Odille Ferrier; one 
sister, Mrs. P. L. Blanchard of Donaldsonville, nee Jeanne Fevrier; and four 
grandchildren, two issue of the marriage of Henry G. McCall and Louise 
Ferrier. The senior editor of this paper numbered among the personal friends 
of the deceased, hence it is with something more than mere formality that we 
deplore the death of this good man and extend our sympathy to his sorrowing 
family.
