Funeral took place in that town last Monday. Mrs. Merritt was born in Jefferson County, N.Y. Came with her parents and settled in Boston Township, Ionia Co., 47 years ago. At the time of her death she was 76 years old. Mrs. Merritt all through life had accumulated friends by the score. As a family counselor, as a mother, as a neighbor, and as a friend, she was respected highly by all who knew her. She was not a member of any church, but her course through life was worthy of imitation by the best of church members. Her religion was practical, not theoretical. Out of a family of 10 pioneers leave this world to pass away into the unknown. We who are left to follow must realize that it is but a few days when we must follow.
