Note: Obituary from Gonzales Weekly Inquirer - August 6, 1887 - on Microfilm at Gonzales Co. Public Library. "Died, at her home in Hondo City, Texas Thursday, July 28, 1887 of consumption, Mrs. Mattie Merriman, aged 26 years, 8 months, and 16 days. Mrs. Merriman was the daughter of our fellow townsman Mr. A. J. Moore, born and reared in Gonzales County, and had many friends here who will regret to learn of her death. She had schoolmates and friends in the city who remember her as a bright and lovely young lady. On Feb. 1, 1883 she married to Mr. J.C. Merriman, of Hondo City, which place was her home up to the time of her death. She was not very strong for a year past, but it was within the last three months that the symptons of consumption became apparent. She leaves a disconsolate husband, and two children to grow up without the care and influence of a mother, besides her parents and two brothers. We tender our heartfelt sympathy to the mournning relatives."
