Death of Well Known Lady
Mrs. Geo. Merrill Passes Away at Family Home on West Second Street After Long Illness
Was Seventy Years of Age
Survived by One Daughter and Two sons – Pioneer Settler in This Vicinity
Mrs. George Merrill, on of Hamilton county's best known pioneer women, passed away at the family home on west Second street Tuesday evening at six o'clock, following an illness of more than a year's duration. Mrs. Merrill was ill at the time of the death of her husband, who passed away a year ago last July. However, it was not until about a month ago that she took to her bed. She was seventy years of age. One daughter, Miss Ruth, and two sons, Dan and Phillip, are left to mourn the loss of a beloved mother. Two sisters and a brother are also among the bereaved ones. One sister, Mrs. Louis LaVake of Montour, is here, as is also a niece, Mrs. J.W. Randolph, of Estherville.
Mrs. Merrill, whose maiden name was Frances Helen Johnson, was a native of Vermont and was united in marriage with Geo. Merrill in December 1866. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill at once took up their residence on a farm in Fremont township where they resided for many years, in fact they have lived in this city or its vicinity for nearly half a century. During all these years Mrs. Merrill has been prominent in the affairs of the community and enjoyed a large acquaintance in these parts. She was a very intelligent woman and much esteemed and admired by all within the circle of her acquaintance. She possessed a strong and winning personality and her taking away will be the occasion of much sorrow to all who knew her as a friend.
The funeral services will be held at the home this afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Arthur Metcalf of the Congregational church, of which society she was a long time member. (Webster City Tribune, Webster City, IA, September 12, 1913)
