Some vignettes about Merrick and Catherine

I ended up talking to my mother after posting the biographies about Merrick and Catherine and found out a few more tidbits of information that I want to get out.

• Merrick was a fiddle player who love to play and performed at weddings and other event.  Catherine was not fond of this and limited his playing at the house.  Even though, he would take the grandchildren into back rooms and preform for them.  
• Catherine worked as a cook's assistant in a lumber camp before she started working at the paper mill.
