Memorials
- Memorials of St. Michael's, the old parish churchyard of Dumfries
by William McDowall, 1876
- On or near the south wall thirty-one tombstones are placed, the
first of them being a stately pillar which commemorates John Fergusson of
Douievale. Possessed of good business talents, sharpened by legal training, he
took an active part in the Reform Bill agitation; and soon after that measure
was made law he became one of the popularly-elected members of the Town
Council, discharging his official duties with the utmost credit. For several
years he filled the important office of Proctor, or Crown representative of the
"Vice Admiralty Court, Island of Mauritius. On returning from abroad, he spent
the remainder of his life in Dumfries, his native town. Mr. Fergusson was
son-in-law of the late Provost Fraser. He died much regretted on the 26th
December 1866, aged 55. The monument is of light grey Dalbeattie granite, and
is a very graceful as well as imposing object.
- Joseph (sic) Fergusson, who early in the century carried on a
good business as painter and glazier, receives commemoration from a very
handsome monument; as do his wife, Nicholas Hair, and their three children
(whose ages are not recorded), James died at Toronto, 1st July 1836, William in
London, 30th January 1870 [Deaths Mar 1870, Fergusson William 66 Wandsworth 1d
369], and Janet, 26th February 1872. Mr. Fergusson, senior, died 18th May 1820,
aged 64. [click photo to see headstone detail
