L. Levern Merrifield
Dr. L. Levern Merrifield, longtime Ponca City resident and internationally
recognized orthodontist, passed away at his home Jan. 15, 2000, following
an extended illness. He was 78.
Dr. Merrifield was laid to rest in a private graveside service on Wednesday,
Jan. 19. A public memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 22,
2000, at 2 p.m. at the First Christian Church here in Ponca City with the
Rev. Dr. Bill Masters, former pastor of First Christian Church, and the
Rev. Kent Dorsey, pastor of First Christian Church, officiating. Dr. Jack
Dale of Toronto, Canada, will deliver the eulogy. Arrangements are under
the direction of Trout Funeral Home.
Dr. Merrifield was born Feb. 1, 1921, to Cecil Conrad and Ivery Lee
(Guthrie) Merrifield in Dill City. He graduated from Sayre High School
at the age of 16. Within three years, Dr. Merrifield earned a degree in
agriculture from Oklahoma A&M. He taught vocational agriculture at
Cache and Erick, often being confused as a fellow student because of his
young age!
Despite his degree in agriculture and love for the land, Dr. Merrifield’s
calling proved to be dentistry. In 1946, he graduated from the Baylor College
of Dentistry in Dallas with a doctorate in dental science.
He opened his first practice in Chickasha. After three years in practice,
Dr. Merrifield enrolled in the University of Missouri at Kansas City to
pursue his M.S.D. in orthodontics.
In 1951, Dr. Merrifield entered the United States Air Force as a captain.
At the request of the base commander, Dr. Merrifield was transferred to
the Amarillo Air Force Base to assist in the base’s reopening and to establish
its dental clinic. He completed his tour of duty in 1953. Upon returning
to private practice, Dr. Merrifield moved to Ponca City and began his orthodontic
career, sharing an office with his brother, Dr. Vernon, “V.C.,” Merrifield.
The brothers built the Merrifield Doctors Center in 1959 to accommodate
their growing practices. He also had an office in Stillwater, where he
practiced two days a week for 25 years.
Levern and Jan Marlene McVicker, a Duncan native, were united in marriage
in 1967. They established a ranch in Osage County and concentrated on raising
wheat and Angus cattle.
Dr. Merrifield was in private practice for 50 years. During that time,
he earned an international reputation as an expert in the field of orthodontics.
Among the first to recognize his talent was Dr. Charles Tweed. His Tucson-based
Tweed Foundation taught the “advanced edgewise” technique to licensed orthodontists.
After Dr. Merrifield completed the Tweed Foundation course, Dr. Tweed tapped
him as an instructor and later as the Foundation’s co-director. Upon Dr.
Tweed’s death, Dr. Merrifield was named as the Foundation’s course director
and later became the chairman of the board. Notably, Dr. Merrifield established
an endowment for continuing education and scholarship to benefit the rapidly
growing field of orthodontics and expanded the Tweed Foundation to an international
level.
During his years of private practice, Dr. Merrifield maintained a busy
lecture schedule including lecturing twice a year in Tucson at the two-week
course sponsored by the Tweed Foundation. He was also the featured lecturer
in orthodontic clinics held in many foreign countries. He authored and
co-authored numerous publications on his changing field and greatly helped
to advance orthodontic care.
Dr. Merrifield was awarded numerous honors during his career including
the Tweed Course Distinguished Service Award and the Outstanding Service
Award from the Oklahoma Orthodontic Association. Dr. Merrifield also received
the Martin Dewey Award from the Southwestern Society of Orthodontics. He
served as president of the Oklahoma Orthodontic Society and earned the
designation of diplomat to the American Board of Orthodontics. The American
Board of Orthodontics presented Dr. Merrifield with their most prestigious
honor, the Albert Ketcham Award in 1989 in recognition of his lifetime
of contribution to the orthodontic profession.
In the late 1950s, Dr. Merrifield began a home-based Ponca City business
named for his mother to assist her with living expenses. Lee Laboratories,
Inc., which manufactures orthodontic headgear, has grown into a business
with a worldwide market. Dr. Merrifield’s J-Hook Directional Force Headgear,
a technology he designed and developed, is an important appliance used
in today’s edgewise orthodontic treatment and continues to be manufactured
in Ponca City.
His personal interests included ranching, quail hunting, and fishing.
He is especially remembered for his unwavering love and devotion to
his family.
Dr. Merrifield is survived by his wife, Jan, of the home; his son,
Ron Merrifield of Antioch, Calif.; and two daughters, Terri Hadley and
Shawn Lessert, both of Ponca City. Additional survivors include daughter-in-law,
Sandra Merrifield; sons-in-law, Paul Hadley and Wade Lessert; grandchildren,
Kirk Merrifield, Patrick Hadley, Lauren Hadley, Linen Lessert, and Nathan
Lessert; and great-granddaughter, Brooke Hadley. Also among the survivors
are a brother, Dr. Vernon Merrifield of Ponca City, his wife, Wanza, and
their children.

Nelsie Juanita Bennett
Nelsie Juanita Bennett, longtime Ponca City resident, died Tuesday,
Jan. 18, 2000, at Westminster Village Nursing Home. She was 103.

United Methodist Church with the Rev. Dr. J.D. Ward, pastor, officiating.
Burial will follow at Odd Fellows Cemetery in Tonkawa under the direction

Nelsie was born on Dec. 30, 1896, in their family farm home southwest
of Tonkawa to John Nelson and Elizabeth “Belle” (Elliott) Starr. (Her father
had staked a claim on the land in the Run of the Cherokee Outlet on Sept.
16, 1893. In the Spring of 1894, “Belle” Starr and their two sons joined
him in a new frame house.) In 1910 the Starrs moved with their family of
five children to Tonkawa. Mr. Starr bought into a bank and he and others
organized the First National Bank of Tonkawa, which he served as president
until his death.
Nelsie and the other children of the family all graduated from the
University Preparatory School (now Northern Oklahoma College). Nelsie went
on to graduate from Northwestern Normal School at Alva with a major in
education. She also attended the University of Colorado in Boulder.
She then taught in the Tonkawa Elementary School for several years.
During the summers, she did Chautauqua work for the Mutual Ewell Co. of
Chicago and was advanced to circuit supervisor. According to Theodore Roosevelt,
the great Chautauqua movement was “the most American thing in America,”
a feast of rhetoric and entertainment served twice daily inside a big brown
tent.
Nelsie married Ollie B. Bennett in 1923, and they made their home in
Tonkawa. Later, Ollie went into the hardware business and served as president
of the state association. Nelsie put in a gift shop in the store and enjoyed
her customers. Mr. Bennett died Feb. 17, 1965.
That spring, Nelsie’s mother, “Belle,” came to live with her. “Belle”
lived 99 years and four months before her death on Dec. 28, 1968.
Nelsie has been a very active member of the United Methodist Church
over the years and served in leadership positions in numerous clubs, auxiliaries
and lodges including Daughters of the American Revolution and Eastern Star
in Tonkawa and Ponca City.
In 1983, Nelsie moved to Denver to be near her son, Keith and his family.
She lived at the Treemont Retirement Community for two years, but she became
homesick for Oklahoma as her roots were deep there. She returned to Ponca
City in the fall of 1985 to reside at the newly completed Westminster Village.
She found the village “a good place to live among friends, yet have the
privacy of a comfortable apartment.”
Nelsie was recently recognized as one of the earliest living graduates
of Northern Oklahoma College.
Nelsie and O.B. Bennett had two sons, Keith Starr Bennett, a retired
senior exploration landman with Conoco Inc. in Denver, and Owen Burtis
Bennett, deceased, a geophysicist and vice president of the Santa Fe Energy
Company of Houston.
She is survived by her son, Keith Starr Bennett and his wife Bo of
Denver, and their families which include Jeffrey Bennett and family, Casper,
Wyo., Susan M Bennett, Coronado, Calif., Mark S. Bennett and family, Littleton,
Colo., Cynthia Eaton and family, Spokane, Wash., Debbi Ray and family,
