Merle, the son of Henry and Clementine (Wittrock) Potthoff was born on October 29, 1930 at Carroll, Iowa. He grew up on the family farm northeast of Halbur, and attended St. Augustine School. After his formal education Merle began farming with his father. On October 16, 1951, Merle was united in marriage to Lila Davis, at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Carroll, the couple made their home northeast of Halbur where Merle was engaged in grain and livestock farming. Merle semi-retired from farming at age 65. Although he “retired” he still continued to help his son, John, farm on a part time basis. Merle enjoyed country music, attending concerts, playing cards, watching baseball and golfing. He took great pride in his acreage, planting and caring for hundreds of mums that lined their lane each year. Merle also enjoyed woodworking, building many different crafts for his children and grandchildren. Most of all, Merle loved the farm life, and all his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He was a lifelong member of St. Augustine Church in Halbur.
