        MYRA MERRICK, 16, oldest daughter of A. JUDSON
      MERRICK, died at her Elm street home at 11:45
      o'clock this morning after a lingering illness
      covering a period of nearly six weeks. MISS MERRICK
      was operated upon five weeks ago last Tuesday for a
      peculiar disease of the pancreas glands. She re-
      ceived very little relief from the operation and
      the case puzzled the physicians not a little. It
      was thought at different times that she could not
      live the day out but she would seem to rally and
      last week her condition changed so much for the
      better that there was a faint hope that she might
      recover. MISS MERRICK was a very sweet young girl
      and she bore her illness with great patience and
      fortitude. Her physicians were DRS. CLARK and
      CARPENTER of this city, and DRS. RICHARDSON and
      JONES of Boston. She was a member of the fresh-
      man class in the high school last year. She was
      also a member of the Second Baptist church Sunday
      school. Besides a father she leaves a sister and
      one brother. The funeral will be held at her late
      home on Elm street at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
