Dear Phyllis:
I have attached a copy of George Washington Ferris and Anna Jane Copple August 19, 1865
marriage license that I just got at the Shelby County Courthouse. I have made notation of
relation to my family history at the top. You can use the license for whatever purpose
that you want. George Washington Ferris and his wife Anna Jane Copple are the parents of
Dr. Justus Clemet Ferris M.D. that married my relative Josephine Amelia Metz, daughter of
John and Odelia Meyer Metz , granddaughter of Valentine and Ottilda Fuerst Meyer.
George and Anna Copple Ferris owned a farm in Van Buren Township Shelby County. He was
born July 1841 in Illinois and she was born August 1842 in Shelby County, Indiana. I do
not know where they are buried but I believe they are buried in Shelby County. If you
happen to locate them I would appreciate knowing the cemetery. Also if you happen to known
anything about the minister that married them. Strange initials in front of his surname
with M.P. C. after it probably referring to local church?
Thank You Kindly,
Andy Sauer
