T. M. MERRITT, JR.
TAKEN BY DEATH
Typhoid Fever Fatal to
Well Known Young
Man
T. M. Merritt, Jr., died Saturday
afternoon at 3:15 o’clock at the home
of his parents, 316 College street.' He
was one of the best known and highly
esteemed young men of Americus,
' and announcement of his death was
■ a shock to many friends in all parts
I of the city. He was about 24 years of
age, and through his capability and
close attention to business had al
ready made for himself an enviable
place in the business and social life
of Americus. He had been ill several
weeks, but had been confined to his
I bed only since last Saturday. Death
was due to typhoid fever, and his con
dition had been most critical for sev
eral days. Dr. Herschel Smith and Dr.
I Wm. S. Prather attended him in his
| last illness. He is survived by his
1 parents, Dr. and Mrs. T. M. Merritt;
I three brothers, Louis, who is a stu-
I dent at the University of Georgia
and who reached Americus Friday
night, Sam and William Merritt, and
two sisters. Miss Leta Merritt and
Miss Mary Merritt.
He was a member of Central Bap
tist church, having taken his stand
i for God and the church in his early
i youth, a stand which he maintained
with unfailing fidelity until his death.
Always interested in the affairs, of
the church, he found time frequently
to assist actively in the services there,
and it was one of his greatest pleas
ures to aid in advancing the influ
ence of the congregation. He was a
. member of Americus Camp No. 202,
Woodmen of the World, of Americus
Lodge, No. 13 F. & A. M., and of
John D. Mathis Post American Le
| gion, and members of these organi
zations will participate in the funeral
exercises this afternoon.
Several years ago “Tom” Merritt,
as he was called among his friends,
was connected with the Timcs-Re
corder, and through hard work rose
from a clerical position to that' of
business manager, a place he occu
pied, when, with a patriotism which
always marked his every action, he of
fered his services to his country. He
I could have had a commission had he
| sought one, but he said to friends be
i fore going to a training camp that
he wanted to go into the ranks, that
he wanted to give his services where
they would do the most good, and
while he detested the whole idea of
war, he wanted to do his part, as he
believed every man should when his
country called. After the war he re
turned to Americus and was em
ployed by the Empire Loan & Trust
' company, with which concern he re
| mained until his death in the capacity
! of traveling farm inspector, a most
: confidential position.
Funeral services will be he’d this
afternoon at 4 o’clock from the Cen
tral Baptist church, and will be con
ducted by Rev. Robert L. Bivins, now
of Forsyth, but who was pastor of the
then Furlow Lawn church when the
deceased aligned himself with the
church. He will be assisted by Rev.
George Brown, pastor of the congre-
■ gation, and interment will be in Oak
Grove cemetery. Pallbearers will be
Nathan Murray, T. C. Tillman, E. Y.
• Andrews, Robert Lane, Lewis Ellis,
G. C. Webb, Jimmie Pickard and
Allen Chappell.
