The following article from an unidentified newspaper was found in Town
Historian Richard Schmal's obituary collection. It was hand dated Aug.
1966.
Merritt Love, age 70, of Lowell passed away August 15 at Our Lady of
Mercy Hospital in Dyer. He is survived by two daughters: Mrs. Paul
(Evelyn) Phebus and Mrs. Charles (Grace) Roberts, both of Lowell, and
seven grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Monday,
August 8th at Sheets Funeral Home with the Rev. Roy Brumbaugh
officiating. Burial was in West Creek Cemetery.
This article shows Merritt Love being buried a week before he died.
Obviously there is a mis-typed date, either for the death or for the
funeral.
