Merle attended country school through the 8th grade, and graduated from Paton High School in 1941. He was a member and attended the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Paton. In his leisure time while growing up he skated with his cousins and friends. Merle joined his father in farming shortly after graduating from high school.

He was a member and served as president of the Paton Lions Club and currently was a member of the Jefferson Lions Club. He retired from farming in 1994. He and Nola moved to Jefferson. They became members of First United Methodist Church in Jefferson. For several winters, Merle and Nola went to Mesa, Arizona. He enjoyed shuffle board and was good at it.
