HIGHLY RESPECTED RESIDENT
DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
HAD  RECENTLY   VISITED  HOME  TOWN
PENNSYLVANIA-ACTIVE IN MANY
CHURCH CIRCLES.
IN
Ina Catherine Merritt was born In
Union City, Erie county, Pa., Fehiu-
ary 24th, 1887, the youngest child of
Frank and Km ma Weston Merritt.
While still a very small child, they
moved to Waterford, Pa., which I* near
Union City, In the foothills of the Allegheny mountains, and which had
been the former home of the Merritt
family. She attended the public
schools in Waterford, and wuti graduated from the Waterford high school.
In the old Academy building, In the
—spring of 1906. For five years she
taught in 'the township schools of Waterford, after which she came to
South Amherst, Ohio, where she engaged In school work.
On the twelfth of August, 1914, she
was united In marriage to Fred Ran
ney Powers of Amherst, at the home
of her mother in Waterford. On the
first of the following September, she
went with her husband to Madison,
().. where they made their home for
four years, Mr. Powers being superintendent, and Mrs. Powers frequently
doing substitute 'work In the schools.
On March 9th, 1918, a son, Harry Merritt Powers, was born to them at the
Madison home. In the summer of the
same year, the family 'moved to Amherst, ().. where the husband took up
the superintendent of the schools In
the fall, and where Mrs. Powers had
taught a considerable time also.
On tho twlefth of August, 1921, Mr.
and Mrs. Powers, with their small
son, Harry, started on a motoring trip
from Amherst to Waterford, stopping
to visit friends at. Madison. While
enjoying the two weeks spent among
relatives and friends in the old home
town, she had the pleasure ot making
kodak pictures of the schools where
she had begun her teaching, and of
Visiting many friends whom she had
not seen in years. She had always
been active in church work there, and
so, while they were at Waterford three
weeks ago, she sang in the choir, as In
years gone by. They returned to Amherst in time for the opening of the
fall term of school.
She was apparently In her usual
health until Tuesday night, Sept. 8th,
when she was stricken with a very severe  illness.    Early  the   next  day  it
was decided that an operation war the
only possible chance for her recovery,
and she was taken,at once to the Am
herst hospital, where this operation
was accordingly performed. She rallied and during the day Thursday she
■:eemed quite cheerful and hopeful of
recovering her health. Hut late In the
afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 8th. she
suffered a sudden relapse, from which,
on account of her weakened condition,
she was Unable to rally, and she passed away at 8 o'clock that night. Her
husband was wi.h her constantly, from
the time of the operation till the end,
und her mother and on* sister, and
her little son were at her bedside
while she was still able to recognize
them.
In accordance wUh her own expressed wish, she was taken to Waterford for burial, following a funeral
urday, Sept. 6th. Funeral services
service here at Amherst at 1:30 Sat-
were held for her at her mother's
home In Waterford Sunday afternoon
at 2:30. She was laid to rest In a
beautiful spot in the cemetery in her
old home 'town overlooking tbe valley.
Surviving her ure her husband, Fred
Ranney Powers, and their small son,
Harry Merritt Powers, who was three
and one-half years old the day after
his mother's death. Her father died
while she was a little girl, but her
mother, Mrs. Emma Merritt, her brother, Hurry Merritt, aud two sisters,
Mrs. Jennie Bolard and "Mrs. Shirley
Barton, all of Waterford, Pa., are left
to mourn her early passing, and to
look ror the coming of the glad new
day when all shall meet again In the
xreat Home beyond, where sorrow
does not enter in.
Through Mrs. Powers' work In the
public schools, she has become widely known and generally loved among
the children and parents at Waterford, Madison and the two Amhersts
