Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1907-01-04
From Ex-Governor stIekneY.

John Mcrrincd was my long time friend.
We were associated together at Mont
pelier in one capacity or another for many
sessions of the legislature and his death
comes to me and to many others as a per
sonal bereavement.
Mr.. Merrifeld was faithful He did his
work well and punctually and often did
more than was required of him. This
made him useful and almost Indispensable
in every public position which he held
He seemed 10 delight in service, never
insisting on his rights but always es-
teeming others better than himself
He was modest and unassuminG in n
marked degree; but his modesty was not
the result Of weakness, for he was strong
and could be stubborn when the right re-
quired it, Whatsoever things were pure
ana true had an attraction for him and
made him transparontly honest He was
hahitually kind and considerable and I'm its
primitive and best sense a gentleman.
WILLIAM w. STICKNEY.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1907-01-04
from E. c. FLEETWOOD. seeretary Of Sac.

Prominently did Mr. Merrifeld per-
sonify the cardinal traits of character
which typify the average life Of our
state-sincerity and simplicity. In him
integrity was instructive in thought and
transparent in act. His regard for truth
miTored every deed which bore the
impress of his personality. He won and
kept his friends because he trusted the
best that was in them. Falsty and sham,
intrigue and deception shriveled in his
presence. As a public official he was
always carefully informed. thoroughly
conscientious, and performed every duty,
small or great, with modesty and cfii-
cheney. In his self effacing way his quiet
control brought matters to pass as he
intended. Vermont has sustained the loss
of a loyal true hearted and open minded
son. Vermonters have lost n firm friend
and a sympathetic counsellor.

personal characterIstIcs.

In his personal character John Merri-
field was as distinctly unique as any man
of whom we read in history. Without
any of the qualities of greatness as that
term is commonly used, he was great I'm
the simplicity and sincerity of his own
nature. He was a man cast in a large
mould, and the mould was fashioned of
innate, everyday goodness, Of unselhsh-
ness, and spontaneous wish to spend
and be spent in the service of others. He
was not like any other man that any of
us has ever known. He was like John
Merrifield--and in these words is sum-
med up all the esteem and love which
was felt for him by the Newfane COM
munity, the BraItleboro community, the
friends of his youth, the friends of his
manhood and the great body of his
friends all over the state His sobriquet
Of Honest John" was the tribute of af-
fectionate appreciation of his friends in
other parts of Vermont. Here at home
he was always plain John Merrifeld"
He had the heart of a child unsulliod
and interrupted. The only fear he knew
was the fear that he should do some one
an Injustice or that he should put a spot
on his own honor. With all his ability
and his willingness to serve he had a dis
trust of himself which was sometimes
painful and even embarrassing, and
which not infrequentlY provoked a smile
from those who knew him best. When he
lacked decision IT was because he was in
a panic of fear lest he should not do the
thing that was absolutely right. We
laughed at him while he returned again
and again to argue over some little point
of sef-distrust or self-depreciaton, but
the laugh covered an affection such as we
felt for no one else. His sympathy was
as quick as a womans. There was no
grief or trouble that did not bring an in
slant response from his heart, shown in
voice and eye, and wish TO help.
After all his qualities of true nobility,
