• Notes

  From the book, History of Leeds and Grenville, by Thad W. Leavitt HENRY MERRICK, M. P. P. Mr. Merrick is the son of Stephen Merrick, and the grandson of William Merrick, who was one of the first settlers at Merrickville, building mills there which subsequently gave the present name to the village. Henry Merrick was born at Merrickville, and for several years was engaged in the manu facture of woolen goods, but is at present in the mercantile business. In 1875, he was elected Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge for British America. He has also been a Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Black Chapter of Orangemen of British America, and is at present Grand Master of the Orange Order for Canada. He was first returned to Parliament for North Leeds and Grenville at the general election of 187:, being re-elected in 1874. Mr. Merrick is a Liberal Conservative in politics, and since he became a member of the Legislative Assembly has taken a deep interest in promoting an Act for the incorporation of the Orange Society.
