We have received the painful intelligence of the death of A.C. Merrell, the last of the five brothers of Hon. W.W. Merrell. His death was sudden and unexpected. It occurred at his home in LaFayette county, Mo. in his 54th year.
He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. Happily the children are all boys, and well able to take care of their grief stricken mother, the youngest being thirteen years of age.
We knew the deceased well. He hated tyranny and oppression of every kind, with all the intensity of a spirit that could not brook restraint and he took no pains to conceal his contempt of what he despised. Here he was often
misunderstood and condemned when a prudent reserve would have saved him from censure. When duty, or the vindication of right called for courage, he had no sense of fear.
He was a faithful friend of a most generous disposition, and gentle as a woman to those who sought his favor. To the bereaved, in their far away home, we send our hearty sympathy.
