Thomas Mercer is Called Home
After an illness lasting but a few days, Thomas H. MERCER, 82, passed away Thursday evening at his home, 426 N. Fulton Ave. He was taken ill with a nervous chill, following a day spent in his garden, Monday and slowly sank to his end. His only daughter, Mrs. Ella BRACKETT, was at his side when he died.
Mr. Mercer was one of the county pioneers, having lived here nearly 60 years. He was very well known in the city and the country. His death marks the passing of another of the older generation, among whom the toll of the reaper has been heavy this winter.
Thomas H. Mercer was born in Greene county, Ohio, June 2, 1820, was 82 years, 10 months and one day old when he died, and was the last of a family of ten children. He came to Fulton county in 1854. On Nov. 20, 1856, he was married to Mary QUIVEY, who died Jan. 10, 1911. To this union were born eight children, two of whom survive, Mrs. Ella BRACKETT, of Hedgewisch, Ill, and Edwin C. MERCER, of this city.
The funeral services will be held at the M.E. church, Sunday, April 6, at 2 o'clock p.m. Friends can view the body at the late residence on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 to 1 p.m. Interment in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
