Greetings AGAIN to everyone on the List: To get this list moving let's put a few of our Merritt dead end/brick walls on this message board and see if anything connects with another Merritt reader. Here is an item of interest to me that I have fruitlessly tried tracking down for about six months. Who was the father of Bert U. Merritt of Minn.? Although Ora J. Bragg and Bert Merritt seem to be frequently listed in their databases, I have not yet reliably determined Bert's parents. I believe possibly Cassius Clay Merritt but I don't know. Here is why I have on Bert: Bert U. Merritt was born about1883, and died May 9, 1964 in Virginia, St. Louis County, Minnesota. He married Ora Jeanette Bragg 1900, daughter of Barnabus Bragg and Mary Cornman. Ora was born December 20, 1883 in Lost Creek, Pierce County, Wisconsin, and died March 2, 1956 in Mountain Iron, St. Louis County, Minnesota. Children of Bert Merritt and Ora Bragg were: 2 i. Clinton Herbert Merritt, born January 18, 1905; died April 18, 1979 in Hibbing, St. Louis County, Minnesota. More About Clinton Merritt: Residence: Pengilly, Itasca County, Minnesota 3 ii. Truman Merritt, born November 19, 1906 in Minnesota. 4 iii. Clyde Merritt, born 1908. 5 iv. Genevieve Merritt, born 1913. 6 v. Inez Merritt, born October 8, 1902. 7 vi. LiAnna Merritt. 8 vii. Ora Merritt. 9 viii. Florence Belle Merritt, born July 24, 1919. Regards, Ron Merritt Yanbu, Saudi Arabia
