From an obituary, Forsyth, Rosebud County, Montana, July 5, 1924: It was a shock to the people of Forsyth and vicinity to learn last Friday morning of the death of Mrs. Charles A. Ferris, at the ranch home on lower Armells valley. Following an operation at the Miles City hospital, two months ago she was removed to her home and her condition was thought to be improving, but a turn for the worse was taken and her death came as a surprise. She suffered from cancer of the stomach for nearly five years, but was never considered serious until last fall, preceding the operation. All that could be done, was done, promptly, and cheerfully, but to no avail, and the end came peacefully, ending many days of agony for her and mental suffering for her family and friends. Ada Davey was born May 6, 1861, near Utica NY and grew to young womanhood at that place. She was united in marriage to Charles Ferris December 27, 1894 and they lived on the ranch, when death overcame her Friday, May 30, 1924 at age 63 years and 24 days. She was a good woman and her loss is reflected through the entire community. Many are those who loved her - deeply and sincerely - and her passing will be keenly felt. To her grief-stricken family, her vacant chair can never be occupied. Miss Davey was the daughter of a civil war veteran and married a veteran of the Indian wars, as Mr. Ferris came west nearly 60 year ago, and saw considerable army service on the frontier. Besides her husband, Mrs. Ferris is survived by three children: Mary - Mrs. Raymond Williams, of Elk, Washington; Kenneth and Alice at home. Interment was made in the Forsyth cemetery.
