Notes - Merle's grandfather founded a small mission church on Harmony Rd. between Hallstead and Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. At the time he started the church their were still indians in the territory. Merle and Phyllis eventually took over the ministry and served God faithfully through their special country church which served the spiritual needs of the rural farmers and their families. On Sunday mornings Phyllis played an antique pump organ and Merle preached the sermon. For twenty-nine years, Merle and Phyllis gave of themselves in both time, talents and finances to make certain that the doors of this special church remained open to those in the community. Merle and Phyllis farmed in Hallstead and Merle also worked for New York State Electric and GAs as a land surveyor. He was a very good carpenter building their house. He also built a special playhouse with a fireplace. His children and grandchildren and other kids always enjoyed playing in this playhouse
