CHARLES H. MERRICK
DIES AFTER CELEBRATING HIS 73D BIRTHDAY
C. H. Merrick, Prominent Brick Manufacturer, Had Been Ill Less Than a Week.
Charles H. Merrick, prominent brick manufacturer and a member of one of the oldest families of Onondaga county, died at 9:30 o'clock this morning at his home, No. 1216 South Sallina street. He had been ill less than a week. Death was due to pneumonia.
Mr. Merrick was taken ill last Wednesday. Friday his condition became serious. He improved however, and yesterday celebrated his seventy-third birthday by blowing out seventy-three candles which had been set in the birthday cake.
He was sole owner of the brick factory at Dewitt which bears his name, and was perhaps the oldest brick manufacturer in Central New York.
Born in this city September 20th, 1842, he received his education in District School No. 7, later attending the High school. He enlisted in Company F, Third New York Light artillery, in 1862 and served until the close of the war.
He was a member of Root Post, No. 151, G. A. R.; Sons of American Revolution, Builders' association, rotary club and Wesleyan Methodist church. He was one of the oldest members of the church.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Lavina Van Wagenen Merrick; one son, Charles Van Merrick of Albany, and two brothers, Asa L. and Chaplin D. Merrick of this city.
Private funeral services will be held at the family home at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and half an hour later at the Wesleyan church, where friends may attend. The Rev. J. B. Knappenberger will officiate. Burial will be in the family plot in Oakwood cemetery.
