Dice, pastor of that church officiating; interment in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. Besides her husband she leaves three children, the oldest a girl of 6 years, and two sons, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Almer Merriman [Mariman], and one brother, Lester of Dansville, and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Hamsher of Wayland and Mrs. Fred Dilk of Conesus, besides a large circle of friends, schoolmates and acquaintances to mourn her loss.
