Chelius and Katharine Boldon) 20 April 1892 in Carroll, Carroll, Iowa. They were the parents of Lillian Pauline (1903) and Herman. March 28, 1918 - Carroll Times - The news of the death of Mrs. Herman Chelius, of Boston, came as shock to relatives and friends in Carroll, Saturday morning. Although it was known she was sufferng with pneumonia, her condition was not thought to be serious and when her mother, Mrs. E.N. Merchant, left for Boston two weeks ago, it was not that she feared for her daughter but that she desired to be with her in her illness. Encouraging reports came from the sick room and on Friday, the day of her death, she sat for some time in a wheel chair. When the nurse suggested to her that it was time to get her back in bed she demurred, saying she had not felt better for a long time. Upon being put in bed, however, she was taken with a severe chill, followed by a cold sweat, her temperature went down and she gradually sank, passing away without pain at 7:30 Friday evening. Services were held at the Episcopalian church in Boston at eleven o'clock Tuesday morning. The musical services were given and were held at the Church of the Advent, of which Doctor Van Allen is rector. Her remains were placed in a vault until it was decided where her burial would be made. Mrs. Chelius was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.N. Merchant of this city. She was born in Tama, May 1, 1870, and when a child moved to Carroll with her parents. As Miss Lillian Merchant she was a talented and charming young lady and after attending the public schools went to the Boston Conservatory of Music where she became acquainted with her husband, who was the owner of the school at that time. Her marriage followed in Carroll, April 20, 1892. Besides her husband she is mourned by her daughter, Lillian Pauline, fifteen years of age, her parents, and one sister, Mrs. L. A Gnam. Mrs. Chelius always spent part of the year in Carroll with her parents and her visits were looked forward to with pleasure by many friends who were delighted with her brilliancy and beauty, and her wonderful musical ability. It is not yet known how long Mrs Merchant will remain in the east and whether she will bring her daughter back with her, although the many friends of the young lady hope that she will make her home in Carroll.
