Cynthia A. MERRITT, daughter of the late Levan Wheeler MERRITT, and Cynthia Patience LOOMIS MERRITT, was born in Medina, June 3, 1847. Her education was obtained in the old Medina Academy, and for a number of years, she was a teacher in the same school.
For many years she was a member and active worker in St. John's church. The frail health of her later years called for a milder climate, and her time was divided between Southern California and Washington D. C. In the latter city her beautful life was ended December 10, 1926. Her body was brought to Medina on Saturday, Dec.11, and the funeral was held at the home of John H. Chase, 406 West Ave. at three o'clock Sunday afternoon, December 12. It was fitting that she should rest for a few hours in the home where she was born, and from which her father, mother, four brothers and two sisters had been carried to their resting place in Boxwood Cemetery.
She leaves three nephews, Frank H. MERRITT of Milford, Iowa, James L. MERRITT, of Seattle, and Isaac H. MERRITT, of Denver, and two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Charles J. MERRITT, of Medina, and Mrs. Henry S. MERRITT of Denver.
The following old friends acted as bearers: George A. Newell, Charles N. Hood, A. G. Phillips, Charles M. Jackson, Dr. Thomas H. Agnew, and William H. Munson.
To her friends, the memory of her keen wit and bright intellect, her loving sympathy, and her wonderful patience through years of suffering, will always be an inspiration. For her---"The Journey is done, and the summit attained, and the barriers fall."
