As a young boy, Merle attended Milford Public School and went through the eighth grade. He accepted Christ as his personal savior and was baptized at East Fairview Mennonite Church where he was a life-long member. Merle worked in construction helping pour concrete for Gooch Mills in Lincoln for several years before being united in marriage to Arlene Roth on August 12, 1948. To this union six children were born: Peg, Kath, Audrey, Jeff, Marcy and Cindy. Together they lived on various farms near Milford, settling on the home place east of Milford. Merle truly loved farming-growing crops, raising livestock and liked to ride horses. He also drove the feed truck for the Milford Cooperative, where he enjoyed delivering feed and visiting with customers. Merle and Arlene moved into town in 1995 and continued his farming, often helping his son Jeff with mowing and harvesting. In his early days, Merle enjoyed playing horseshoes, shuffleboard softball and in later years bowling, dominoes and card playing. After his wife’s death in 2015, he would often be seen visiting shut-ins as well as family and friends. Merle was a very hard worker and cared deeply for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He would often be seen attending his son and grandchildren’s athletic and school activities. He is survived by his children and spouses, Peg and Jeff Mapel, Kath and Bob Riley, Audrey and Dale Wehenkel, all of Milford, Jeff and Jeanne Stutzman, Friend, Marcy and Steve Fougeron and Cindy and Craig Eberspacher, all of Milford; 17 grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; sister, JoAnn Stutzman, Fort Collins, CO, and a brother, Richard Stutzman, Lincoln, sister-in-law, Donna Roth, Seward, Lucille Stauffer, Crete, nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends.
