Note: Her deathdate is November 9 instead of November 19 in the typed notes ofRobert Elwyn Fariss.
She was bossy and hard to get along with. Annie Stockton Fariss,who did not like Mary F. Merchant, said that her own daughter EmilyFariss Joekel was just like Mary Merchant.
Seven people are buried on one Giddings lot:
William Holmes Fariss
Amelia Scott Jones Fariss
William T. Wilson
Lyda Fariss Wilson
Milton S. Merchant
Mary Adelia Fariss Merchant
Infant son of Sam and Ruby Fariss
The two burials on the adjacent 8-place plot are:
Andrew Mack Fariss
Clara Koch Fariss
The body of the stillborn son of Sam and Ruby Fariss was sent toGiddings, with the intent that the infant be buried on the cemetery lotowned by his grandparents, Fate and Bert Fariss. But by a mistake ofpersons in Giddings, perhaps the preacher or the funeral home, the babywas mistakenly buried on the William Holmes Fariss lot.
