WlLLlAMsVILLE.
Marion Louise MerrlfieId.

The entire community was shocked by
the sudden death of M. Louise Merrifeld
on Thursday morning OF last week. None
but members of the family knew but she
was in her usual health, and the family,
thinking she was overworked at school,
went with her to Sunset lake for a change
and rest On Wednesday she was not as
well and was brought to her home here
and a physician was summoned, but the
disease, which was pronounced acute
brights disease, had reached such stage
that she was beyond help, and she grad
ually grew weaker until death came at
l o'clock Thursday morning.
Miss Merriheld was the oldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. MerTifield, and was
born in Williamsville Sept. 8, 1882. At the
age of 10 she united with the Methodist
church of this place and had since been
a devoted member She always was ready
to do whatever would be of help to the
church and she was Of great assistance
to the choir. Six years ago she entered
the school at East Mortified, and her
teachers speak very highly of her work
there. She was a member of the Estey
chorus and often sang on public occasions.
Her music teacher says that she was a
great help to him. She would have grad
uated from the seminary next year, but
beyond that time not even the mem
bers of her family knew her plans.
The funeral was held at the house Sat-
urday morning at 10 O'Clock and was very
largely attended. Mr.. Chafer OF East
Mortified officiated, assisted by Rev. ].
c. Hazelton of this place. Mr.. and Mrs.
CHATTER sang He Knows" and Mrs Chafer
sang abide with Me" and "A City Four
Square" The last selection was a favorite
Of Miss Merrifield's. and only two weeks
ago she sang it for her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. ana Mrs. Webster Merriheld, at the
home Of ]. H. Merriheld. The bearers
were c. r. and F. e. Freyenhagen, Porter
Thayer and Amos Stratton. The burial
was in the Williamsville cemetery, the
grave being completely hidden by ever
greens and flowers. Mr.. and Mrs. Chafer
sang ASLEEP In Jesus" at the grave.
Among the beautiful flowers were a
wreath from the mill hands employed by
Mr.. Merrifield, a piece from the Epworth
League in the shape OF their emblem,
bouquet from the class OF 1906 OF East
Mortified and several beautiful pieces
from relatives and friends. Those from
out Of town who attended the funeral
were Prof Philips, Mr.. Ellingwood, Misses
Smith and Hunting of East Mortified;
Miss Dutton of East Dummerston. Mrs.
and Miss Washburn Of Putney and James
Gilbert Of Townshend.
