WILLIAM MERCK OCCURS SUDDENLY Mrs. William Merck, who died on Wednesday, Sept. 2, was born Sept. 1, 1882 in Hartford township, Victor, Iowa, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schmidt. She had not been in good health for some time and on her birthday Tuesday of last week, she became severely ill, causing her to enter a hospital in Iowa City, where she passed away the following morning at the age of 71 years and 1 day. Christina Dorothy Merck in early infancy was baptized in the Lutheran faith by the Rev. Grafelmann. In due time she was instructed in the fundamentals of the Christian religion and was confirmed in St. John's Lutheran church south of Victor. She entered into wedlock with William Merck on Dec. 22, 1903 in her parental home in Lincoln township, the ceremony being performed by the late Pastor Kitzmann. This union was blessed with two children, Roy and Edna (Mrs. Russell Myers), both of Victor; three grandchildren and one great-grandchild; also three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Kahler, Victor, Mrs. Katie Pugh, Des Moines and Mrs. Sophia Schultz, Decator, Ill.; one daughter-in-law and one son-in-law; a large number of relatives and many friends. Her passing brings to a close a life that was spent in this community, chiefly interested in her family, as well as showing kindness and love by spending much of her time in caring for the ill and helping in the hour of need, in various ways demonstrating a pleasing personality and friendly kindness among her neighbors, who also will greatly feel a loss in her passing. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. C. H. Schroeder at the McAninch chapel Friday afternoon at two o'clock. Mrs. Watler stoker and Mrs. Henry Meyer sang "Rock of Ages" and "Old Rugged Cross," with Mrs. George Keller at the organ. Flowers were cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wahl, Mrs. Henry von Aswege and Mrs. Charles Sweeker. Pall bearers were Everett Mohr, John Burry, Lawrence Merck, Cloyd Lyman, Charly Beyer and Herman Schmidt. Interment was made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
