Cairo Messenger, September 1, 1905
In Memoriam
When the great reaper, Death, came on Monday, August twenty-first and claimed 
Mrs. Emily Merritt, wife of Mr. J. G. Merritt, it was only to transplant from 
the life militant to that life which is all peace and joy.  Mrs. Merritt leaves 
a husband, two daughters and four sons to mourn with a host of friends her 
going away; but we know that our loss is her infinite gain.  Devoted and 
faithful as a wife; loving and self-sacrificing as a mother; thoughtful and 
exceeding kind as a neighbor; conscientious and true to convictions of duty and 
religion, she, without ostentation, lived to make brighter and better the 
sphere of life which was here.

As a personal tribute, did the space at our command permit, we would be glad to 
write more of her sweet thoughtfulness and unselfishness as a neighbor, and her 
broad charity for every one.  A noble woman has passed to her reward.
