In spite of everything being done known to medical science and the tender care of father, mother, brothers and sisters and friends, he slipped away to be with Christ his Savior. Mervin was a member of the | Junior Class in the Monroe High ' School and a good student. He was a clean athlete, baseball and basket- | ball being his favorite sports. He was a member of the Monroe I M. E. Church having been convert- [ ed and affiliated with the church under the ministery of the Rev. E. M. Foster, January 1, 1926. He was also amember of the young mens’ Sunday School Class. He leaves to mourn their loss, his father and mother, four brothers, Herman of Fort Wayne, Donald of Hartford City, Howard and Calvin at home, and two sisters Alta of Fort Wayne and Loma at home, besides a host of relatives and friends. The funeral was held at the Monroe Episcopal church Tuesday November 3rd., at 2 p. m. with Rev. E. M Dunbar, pastor officiating, assisted by Rev E. M. Foster of Monroeville. Interment was made at the Ray cemetery, west of Monroe. As a member of the Junior Class j in the Monroe High School, Mervin was a good student, a good ath- | lete, and a gentleman in every res--1 peet. He was a member of the baseball team, the basketball team, and one week ago signed the Hi-Y pledge of clean thinking, clean speech, clean scholarship, clean sportsmanship, and spiritual betterment. This high school has lost a worthy student and this community a splendid citizen. Virgil Wagner Through death our bond is broken ! With sorrow class ties end.
