PATRON OF ARTS DIES OF INJURIES FROM FALL

Evangeline Johnson Merrill, a prominent figure in the arts who was the last surviving child of Robert Wood Johnson, co-founder of Johnson & Johnson, died Sunday at Bryan Health Care Center in Hendersonville, N.C.

She was 93 and lived at World's Edge Apple Organic Farm in Hendersonville.

A spokesman for Johnson & Johnson said Merrill's death resulted from injuries suffered in a fall earlier this year.

In 1943, she was made a Fellow in Perpetuity of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was a patron of several museums, including the Peabody Museum of Yale University.
