ARTHUR C. MERRITT

The funeral of Arthur C. Merritt who died at the home of his parents near 
Eagle, Idaho, on the 27th of November, was held at the home of his uncle, R. 
E. Haynes, November 29th, conducted by Rev. H. E. Wallace, pastor of the 
Methodist church. His body was laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery beside his 
brother Don who preceded him to the Beyond about six years ago.

Arthur C. Merritt was born at Perry, Kansas, March 26th, 1892, and was at the 
time of his death, 25 years, 8 months and one day old. He came to Idaho with 
his parents when about nine years of age, moving to Payette soon after, where 
he has lived continuously until within the last two years. He was a member of 
the class who graduated from the Payette High School in 1912. At the time of 
his death he was a member of the Camp of Modern Woodmen at Boise.

He was a young man of good habits, clean character and bright prospects for 
the future. He was cheerful and hopeful to the last, believing that he would 
soon be well and able to resume his work, but his life was snuffed out just as 
he was blooming into useful manhood.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Merritt of Eagle, Idaho, and 
two sisters, Mrs. W. E. Perkins of Payette, and Mrs. G. R. Bliss of Caldwell, 
all of whom were with him, and who will receive the sincere sympathy of a 
large circle of friends in their sad bereavement.
