OBITUARY
Sellers - Rebecca Hormell was born May 27, 1828. She was converted and joined the Church in her 14th year. She never missed a prayer or class meeting when she could attend. She was married to Ferdinand Sellers, Feb. 18, 1847. There were born to them 9 children, 7 of whom survive.

All are in the church, and one, O. M. Sellers, is a minister. For over 30 years her house was the preacher's home. When confined at home and in bed, the family had to repreach the sermon to her. For 15 years she was a constant sufferer, often at the point of death. Three times in two years we looked for her death daily. She said "I live in sight of death." A short time before her death she called her husband to her and said "O help me to praise the Lord for His goodness to me." A little later she repeated the 23rd Psalm till her voice failed: "Though I walk," etc. She whispered. "Yes, yes, yes!" She died march 9, 1887.

Henry Hormel Merritt
Henry Hormel Merritt was born in Warren County, Ohio, on November, 23, 1827, and died at the home of his son, E. C. Merritt, in North Manchester, Indiana, March 23, 1906, aged 78 years and four months.

Mr. Merritt was a resident of Warren County until the year 1884, when, with his son and family, he removed to Miami County, Indiana, where he resided fifteen years when he again removed with his son and came to North Manchester, where he remained until his death.
Mr. Merritt leaves besides his son, two grandchildren, one great grandchild, one brother and other relatives and friends to mourn his death. In early life he united with the Methodist church in Red Lion.
He was kind and loving father, always having a good word for those he met. His convictions blossomed into deeds, and while his loss I deeply mourned, there is greatest comfort in the thought that he is numbered among those of whom it is said, "These are they which came out of great tribulations, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. A. Hopkins and were held at the residence of E. C. Merritt at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Burial in Oak Lawn cemetery.
