He was born in Tweed, Ont., July 21, 1883, and was 58 years of age. His death occurred on Friday, January 2nd, in St. Mary's Hospital to which he had been removed from his home on the previous Saturday. He had been in failing health for a year but had with unusual fortitude continued to direct the business in which he was engaged until late autumn and even then continued to be at the store almost daily. Mrs. Meraw had been assisting in the business for several weeks and in deference to the wishes of her husband will continue to conduct it. Besides his wife and three children, Francis, Tommy, and Margaret Anne, he leaves seven brothers and one sister, and his mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Meraw, who is resident in Tweed. Brothers present at the funeral were Tom of Colquet, Minn., J. A. (Gus) of Sovereign, Sask., and Harry of Wetaskiwin. Also present was Mrs. Andrews of Colquet. The other members are: Frank and Will of Tweed, Jonas of Falkenbridge, Ont., Mrs. Simin Goulah of Detroit, and Vincent of Rio Grande (Peace River Block). The late Mr. Meraw was the fifth of the sons in the family. In April 1930 he married Miss Margaret Fanset at North Battleford, Sask. Coming to Camrose in the summer of 1934, deceased bought the building north of the Camrose Canadian building which had for many years been known as "Miller's Exchange." There he established a successful business under the name of the Five Cents to a Dollar Store. The store opened on Nov. 26th. Mrs. Meraw and little son, Francis, came to Camrose early in October of 1934. Last year Mr. Meraw let the contract for a handsome new store building which was opened to the public about October 1st and is located in the second block north and adjoining Safeway Store. In early manhood, Mr. Meraw was a telegrapher and afterwards from 1910 until 1923 was associated in the hardware business in Zelandia, Sask., with his brother Gus, and from then until 1929 was located in Rosetown, Sask. During the next few years or until he came to Camrose one year was spent in Winnipeg and three in Ontario. An exemplary citizen, Mr. Meraw was, Rev. Dean Harrington said in his address at the high requiem mass service held in St. Francis Xavier church on Monday morning, a devout member of the church. Quiet and kindly he was much liked by business and other associates. He had been a member of Camrose Rotary Club ever since coming here, and had given worthy service on the town council (during the years 1938-39 and 40) and had been a member of the Elks Lodge and Board of Trade and in the church was a member of the Holy Name Society.
