MORRIS M. MERwIN.

The death of Morris M. Merwin,
which occurred at his home in this
place early Wednesday morning, caused
a profound shock to many of the Older
residents of Greenfield who had hardly
thought that the final dissolution was
SO near. For "a years he had lived
among them and his passing to the
other world, like the removal of some
venerable oak leaves a distinct vacancy
not soon overlooked. In both church
and town affairs he had borne a con-
spicuous part up to that time when
weakened mentally and bodily vigor
made its presence known and the once
vigorous constitution gave way to in
validism and quietude. Mr. Mer win
exhibited many Of the traits of the old
fashioned politician and took a lively
interest in all the local campaigns.
At one time he represented his town
held other minor town offices. He
was stalwart and enthusiastic repub-
lican and his loyalty to the grand old
party was never questioned. He was
man of strict personal integrity and
worthy and valuable member of the
community. Beside a widow, deceased
leaves one granddaughter, now the
wife of S. e. LobdelI of Greenfield
Hill. The funeral will be held from
his late residence, Friday, at 2 p. m.
Rev w. H. Cane, pastor of the Congre-
gational church, will otficiate. The in
terment will be at Oaklawn cemetery
