Merrill (M.) — Continued. 



on the north bank. Upon their arrival Mr. and 

 Mrs. Merrill entered zealously upon their labors 

 and early undertook to learn the Oto language. 

 Mr. Merrill became so fluent as to preach to 

 the Indiana in their own tongue. He died 

 February 6, 1840. 



The work of translation into the Oto dialect 

 was undertaken the next year after the opening 

 of the mission at Bellevue. The interpreter 

 first employed could only translate from the 

 French language ; and from that the words were 

 put into Oto. September 3, 1834, Mr. Merrill 

 writes : "I have now in press a small work for 

 the Otoes. In making my translations I am 

 obliged to employ two interpreters, a French 

 and an Otoe, and besides this I have to ride 

 twenty miles to the trading post to get them." 



This pamphlet is doubtless the Oto Hymn 

 Bo'-'k titled above. 



In Mr. Merrill's journal under date of No- 

 vember 17, 1834, occurs this entry : "Preparing 

 manuscript for second Otoe reading book," and 

 under date of April 16, 1835, "My third Otoe 

 book is printed." 



I am indebted to Mr. S. P. Merrill, Rochester, 

 N. T., a son of the author, for the above notes.
