Fairbanks book: Mary Eunice Merriman was born near Asherville, Kansas, September 4, 1882; and departed this life August 9, 1971, at age of 88 years, 11 months and five days. She was the daughter of Myron and Esther Darrow Chapel. Of her immediate family, consisting of four brothers and three sisters, one brother remains, Daniel Chapel of Stoneham, Colorado. She was the wife of Ralph C. Merriman who preceded her in death December 13, 1921. She was the mother of six children; Mrs. Inda Maude Hoar, who passed away in 1962; Velma Julia Thogmartin, Millersport, Ohio; Ralph Farrell of Morgan Hill, California; Keith Harlan, who died in Action in World War Two; and Bobbye Maxine Wise, Roundup, Montana. A girl infant died at birth. Mrs. Merriman had sixteen grandchildren and thirty-four great grandchildren. Mrs. Myra Chapel Quenzer, a beloved niece whom she helped raise, was with her during the last yeaars of life and present at her death. Her son Ralph (Pine) was unable to journey to Kansas because of illness. Bobbye and son Lynn, arrived from Montana; and Velma and son Dean, and grandson, Keith, came from Ohio. During and immediately following World War Two, Mrs. Merriman was a Sewing Room Supervisor, covering a large area; and later was Reading Room Supervisor at Woodston Rural High School. She was active in the Woodston Methodist Church of which she was a member and Charter Member of W.S.C.S. A musician, Mrs. Merriman enjoyed her piano and her songs. She was also an avid reader and student of literature. Most of all, she was a dedicated mother to her own fatherless children, and to her niece and nephews who had lost their mother. Revered and respected, Mrs. Merriman will long be missed by her family, her friends, business acquaintances and all who knew her. She was laid to rest alongside her husband and son Keith, in the Woodston Cemetery.
