Merriam died at his home in this city on Thursday evening, September 29th, 1927, at the age of 83 years, 7 months and 1 day. He was born in Ontario, Canada. Coming to Kansas in 1868 he settled on a claim east of Cherokee on Cow Creek. Moved to Cherokee in 1872 and went into the harness business and ran the shop 45 years before retiring. He had been in poor health for several years but was able to be up most of the time. We can remember when the harness shop was the uptown headquarters of the Masons, as Mr. Merriam was secretary for more than 25 years and was also secretary of the R.A.M. for over 20 years. There were perhaps more Masons learned their lectures in the harness shop with Mr. Merriam instructing them than any other one spot in the county. He leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, Mrs. Amelia Merriam, one son, George H. Merriam of Miami, Okla., three daughters, Mrs. Nelle Rogers of this city; Mrs. Ethel Draper of Miami, Okla.; and Mrs. Mabel Bogard of Chatham, Canada, all of whom were present at the funeral. Funeral services were held at the home Saturday afternoon with Mr. A.L. Scott of the Pittsburg Christian Science church in charge. Masonic services which were to have been given at the grave were read at the home on account of the rain which continued throughout the afternoon. There were 30 Masons present. Burial was in the Cherokee cemetery. Contributed by Cheryl White
