HENRY CASS MERRILL
Henry Cass Merrill was born in
Centreville (now Merrillville), Ross Township, Lake Co., Ind.
February 29, 1852. Until he was twenty years of age, he divided his
time between going to school and working on his father's farm. In
1872, he went to California and worked in the mines for two years, where he accumulated some
money. Returning to Merrillville, he commenced farming. In 1874, he
was married to Cynthia Saxton, of this township, by which union were
born three children--Everett C. (born January 30, 1879), Archie W.
(born October 21, 1880), and Guy G. (born June 30, 1882). Mr.
Merrill is a general farmer, but gives most attention to the
breeding of stock, particularly hogs; he is liberal in politics, a
church attendant, and a widely esteemed citizen.
