    Notes:

    The Merner family has been identified with New Hamburg since its earliest days. One of the first settlers to hew a home out of the unbroken forest was Jacob Merner, who with his wife and family settled about one and a half miles west of the village in 1837. The subject of this sketch was at that time a child of four years. He is a gentleman remarkably well preserved and with an exceedingly clear memory for events transpiring as long ago as 1837. It is Mr. Merner's boast that in 71 years he has not spent 71c. for liquor. Up to 23 years ago he was a successful farmer. He then retired from active farming but continued to work a few acres until recently, when he moved to town. Ile and Mrs. Merner, who is also hale and hearty, celebrated their golden wedding two years ago. Mr. Merner is a man of unbending integrity and highly respected by all who know him.
