He died at 9 p.m. Thursday, August 20 in the Robert W. Long hospital in Indianapolis.

J.; Lewis and Howard Tomlinson; and two sisters, Maud Tomlinson of Nashville, and Mrs. Mary Yoder, of Helmsburg.
A part of the obituary follows:
"Merrill knew full well, courageously well, that at best all Life is a limited thing for us all.
"Jesus came to teach us that Life is measured, not by the calendar, but by character. Merrill did not take his responsibilities lightly, as a father and as a husband and as a citizen. He knew the value of life, but he also knew, as we do, that some day must come that call for each of us to go.
“Jesus taught us---and He taught Merrill, too---that Hope can save life: Love can beautify life: Service can glorify life: and faith in God and Christ can make this life eternal."
