Notes for ROBERT ROY MERCER:
      Roy Mercer, 32 of Elwood Park died last night at 10 o'clock from gas poisoning, as the result of inhaling gas for several minutes early that morning, while working in a silo at the Griffin and Clark dairy at Elwood Park.
      Mr. Mercer with other men were engaged in filling the silo with green corn, and he was inside, and for greater convenience in his work, he closed both doors. In a few minutes he felt ill, and was released by fellow workmen, but remained on the job, trying to work until about noon, when he went home.
      In the evening several physicians were called, and he was removed to the county hospital, his condition gradually becoming worse, until death ensued.
      The gas is identified as "marsh" gas, and affects the lungs, the gas being caused by the fermentation of the green corn in the silo.
      Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Mercer of Elwood Park, Mr. Mercer is survived by six brothers, Alec, Arcadia; Kib and Sammy, Elwood Park; Charles, Myakka City; Adam, Samoset; and Mick Mercer, Olustra.
     Funeral arrangements, in charge of Wakeman's, have not been completed.

Matthew,

I have much info on the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of Rubye Eva Powell. Rubye Eva Powell and family are found on the 1900 Suwannee County, Fl federal census on page 50A in the Rocky Sink Precinct. Rubye's father's name is Alva Powell, Rubye's mother's name is Lucy Edna Meeks (her name on the census is Eddie, her nickname). Ruby's has two brothers: William Rufus Powell and Henry Curtis Powell. It is my understanding that Henry Curtis died in the early 1900s. William Rufus Powell married Ethel O'Hara (these are my grandparents). If you're interested in the family history, just give me a P.O.Box number, business address, home address, etc and I'll send it to you. I will gladly share all into I have.
