"SAVANNAH, Mo., Aug. 10 -- Judge Isaac Merritt, for the last two terms presiding judge of the county court here and one of the most prominent farmers in this vicinity, dropped dead about 8 o'clock this morning at his home, six and one-half miles northwest of here.
The cause of death is given as heart disease. It is said that he had been a sufferer from the malady some time, but his death was entirely unexpected. He had seemed in unusually good spirits when he arose this morning, it is said. He was alone when stricken. He was waiting for his breakfast and had been conversing with his wife. He went into an adjoining room and about ten minutes later his wife found him lying on the floor. Medical aid was summoned , but life was found to be extinct.
Judge Merritt is survived by his widow, two sons, John and Gale Merritt, and a daughter, Miss Edith Merritt, fourteen years old, all of whom live on the Merritt homestead here. Another daughter, Mrs. John L. Turner of Bolckow, Mo., also survives.
The funeral will be held from the family home at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be in the Savannah cemetery." St Joseph News-Press, August 10, 1910
