• Notes

  Source : Find A Gave Foster cemetery, La Porte, county, Indiana Mrs. Merrill was born Feb 3, 1848, in LaPorte, and came to the Hatches Mills community, south of Three Oaks, at the age of 11, with her mother. At the age of 18 she married Clark Merrill, son of her mother's second husband, Truman Merrill. Mr. Merrill, an early day merchant here, died 14 years ago. Mrs. Merrill was raised a Quaker and throughout her life spoke the plain language, which her friends enjoyed hearing. A nephew, Homer Finley, who resides in Portland, Ore., is her only surviving relative. A nurse, Mrs. Linda Perring, has resided with her for some time. She leaves also a host of friends. Old and young folk alike considered Mrs. Merrill one of their best friends, and until her last illness she took a keen delight in making something or doing for others.
