FROM THE GRANITE MONTHLY:
AUGUSTUS D. MERROW, M. D.
Dr. Augustus D. Merrow of Freedom, one of the foremost physicians of Carroll county, died at his home October 16.
He was born in Newfield, Me., August 8, 1827, attended the North Parsonsfield academy, graduated from the medical department of Bowdoin college, and commenced the practice of medicine at Acton, Me., in 1854, and continued in practice there until 1867, when he removed to Freedom, where he thereafter lived and practised.
His skill as a physician was marked, and his practice extended not only throughout Freedom and surrounding towns, but he was often called in consultation outside of his adopted state.
In politics he was a staunch Democrat, and was prominent in the councils of his party, both during his residence in Maine and New Hampshire. He was elected representative to the Maine legislature in 1865, and to the state senate in 1866.
He was twice married, first to Miss Jane Topliff, daughter of the late Dr. Calvin Topliff of Freedom, who died many years ago, and by whom he had two children, Edward T. and Edith L., the former now a druggist at Freedom, and the latter the wife of Dr. George VV. Lougee, also of Freedom, and secondly to Miss Rose Topliff, who died in March, 1899.
