PICTORIAL HISTORY OF FORT WAYNE AND ALLEN COUNTY INDIANA
by  B.J. Griswold.

  Dr. D.J. Mercer came to Poe in 1902 and here established himself
  in the practice of his profession. He has built up an extensive
  following in the community and stands well among his fellows
  throughout the county. He is an Allen county product, born in
  Madison township on December 13, 1878, son of Robert and Nancy
  (McKeeman) Mercer, themselves natives of Allen county and
  among the representative people of their community.  Doctor
  Mercer was one of five children--three sons and two daughters,
  one of the daughters being deceased.  he was educated in the
  schools of Madison township, and following his high school
  training entered Fort Wayne Medical School, from which he was
  graduated with the class of 1901.  The young M.D. practiced his
  profession at Helmer one year and then came to Poe, where he has
  since been established.  He is progressive in his work and has
  made a practice of attending Chicago clinics whenever possible,
  so that he has kept well abreast of the times in a professional
  way.  Doctor Mercer was married on November 14, 1901, to Miss
  Nettie B. Fry, daughter of Jacob Fry, of Fort Wayne, Allen
  county, and they have three children--Charles Robert, David John
  and Harriet Elizabeth. The doctor is a Scottish Rite Mason and is
  affiliated with various Fort Wayne bodies of the order.
