Merton Andrew Chantland, the son of Andrew A. and Ida (Johnson) Chantland, was born March 4, 1906 at Rural Badger, Iowa. Merton moved with his parents to Humboldt in 1917 when he was 11 years old where he has remained all of his life. He was united in marriage to Clara Johnson on December 7, 1929 in Humboldt. Merton's trade of over 40 years as a house painter and interior decorator won him many satisfied customers, particularly since he was known for the perfection, honesty, and style of his work. Merton has been a member of the Lutheran Church in Humboldt since 1917. He has served on various church committees including nine years as deacon and was a faithful worker at church dinners, and the Humboldt County Fair food stand. A highlight of his life was his 100th birthday that he celebrated at the church. He was always civic-minded, and served as a neighborhood Air Raid Warden during World War II. He helped with many school activities for his daughters and his love of fishing, hunting, and the outdoors has been a lifelong hobby shared by his wife and family. He was an avid woodworker and he and Clara enjoyed traveling together.
