MERRILL NEWS:

PLANT TREES IN NEW
SECTION OF CEMETERY

The Merrill Hillside Cemetery Association has purchased a large number of pine and spruce evergreen trees to be planted in the new section of the cemetery.

The C.C. Hauff memorial money was used to help pay for the trees.

Here’s hoping we get plenty of rain to help in maintaining good growth.
