Eli T. Merriman a biography
No full textThe purpose of this study is to relate the story of Mr. Eli T. Merriman's life. The fact that he lived in Corpus Christi for seventy-five years ad in its vicinity for eighty-eight years, makes the story of his life parallel with the beginning and the growth of that city. In another sense also Mr. Merriman's life is of historic importance; for he was a very worthy representative of the pioneers who by their ambition, their untiring zeal, and their ability to overcome difficulties, laid the foundation of this civilization year by year and helped in the development of this country. It was done by hard work and sacrifices. There were many difficulties that would have discouraged some, but to pioneers like Mr. Merriman those difficulties served as stepping stones to greater achievements. It is hoped that this paper will show how these were accomplished
