MERRILL, CATHARINE: 1824-1900.

Catharine Merrill, teacher and author, was born Jan. 24, 1824, at Corydon, Ind., then the capital of the state. Her father, Samuel Merrill, at that time State Treasurer, had been educated at Dartmouth College. When Mr. Merrill moved the treasury to the new capital of Indianapolis, his family accompanied him to the pioneer community, and there he added teaching to his other duties by opening a school.

Catharine studied under her father, then opened a primary school of her own. For a time she taught at the Female Seminary in Cleveland, O. From 1859 to 1861 she studied in Germany but returned to the U. S. to go into service as a nurse during the Civil War. Until 1885 she was professor of English literature at Northwestern Christian (now Butler) University in Indianapolis, and from 1885 until her death she taught privately. She died May 30, 1900.
