Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington, Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 184. F. T. MERRITT, member of the firm of Bogle, Merritt & Bogle, of Seattle, is a lawyer well and favorably known throughout the state. Mr. Merritt is a native of Wisconsin and was born in 1879 and received his educational training in public schools, including the university of Wisconsin. He was admitted to the bar in 1893 and seven years later came to Seattle, where after remaining a short time he went to Alaska. In 1904 Mr.. Merritt returned to Seattle and after two years residence in Centralia, has since made his home in Seattle, and since 1910 has been a member of his present firm, one of the best known and most successful in the country. Mr. Merritt's work in court is always along lines that are ethical and logical, and the fact that he is counsel for numerous large interests, and enjoys a large and representative practice, attests his efficiency as an attorney. He at all times confines himself to ethical procedure, and has made many friends among members of the bar and judiciary. In 1895 Mr. Merritt married Miss Elizabeth Sherrill, and the couple have three children.
