Lake Odessa Wave Times, 18 Oct 1918
Verne Merrell Dies in York, Pa., Oct. 9
Michigan Friends Surprised.  Father and Mother Hasten, But Death Reaches Him First.

Upon learning of the illness of their son Verne, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Morrell started
for York, Pa., where the young people have been living for more than a year. But
influenza exceeds trains in speed and the son was dead when his parents arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Verne Morrell lived for awhile in Lake Odessa, Mrs. Merrell being a
member of the M.E. church here and a member of the choir, thereby making many
friends.  Later they moved into Sebewa where they also made many friends.

About a year ago they moved to York, Pa., Mrs. Merrell’s former home. Mr. and Mrs.
Jay Merrell, the father and mother live north of town, and they, with their other
children the wife and three small children have the sympathy of a large circle of
friends.
