His paternal grandfather, Philip Ferren, was a Lieutenant in the Nineth New Hampshire Regiment which did valuable service in the Revolution, and was one of those who passed the memorable winter at Valley Forge. His grandfather on his mother's side, Samuel Eaton, was one of the heroes of Bennington under the heroic Stark. The Ferrens are of English ancestry, and the original ancestor landed in this country about 1640. He was for many years a leading business man of Manchester, NH and died at this home there at 52 Walnut St 11/15/1902. He began his business career early in life, starting out on the road as a salesman in May 27,1837 and continued in that pursuit until August 1845. At that time hr opened a dry goods and carpet store in Manchester and continued for a period of twenty year in that line, being remarkably successful. His kind and engaging manner and thorough upright methods of business management called about him friends and extended his patronage until he enjoyed an extensive trade and was able to retire in 1865. His profits were invested largely in real estate, which appreciated in value and his time came to be so occupied in caring for this estate, that the disposed of the store in 1865. He was one of those even, self contained natures that hold aloof from political strifes and yet he entertained strong and settled convictions upon all topics of human interest. He acted with the Prohibition party in elections and lived up to those convictions. He was a member of the Sons of Temperance from 1847, and a delegate to the National Prohibition convection at Indianapolis in 1888, and to the tenth National Temperance convention at Saratoga in July, 1891. He always a temperance man, and member of the First Congregational Church of Manchester, serving ten years as a treasurer of its Sunday School resigning in 1893. He refused to ally himself with any other societies that those above named and lived a quiet life of contemplation and study. One of the topics that greatly interested him was the history of the crucifixion and he felt certain that he had established the exact location of the points of great interest to the Christian world in and about Jerusalem. He is quoted as saying "I have a God that is worth more to me that all the money that is made," which is an indication of his intensely religious and devout spirit. His departure from earth was mourned by many loving and appreciative friends, who gave to his devoted widow a sincere sympathy in her great bereavement. Mr. Ferren was married August 7, 1849, to Adelaide E. Badger, who still survives him and his remains in their pleasant home on Walnut St, Manchester about which so many happy memories cluster.
