Schuette, Merlin K. (21 AUG 1924 – 24 MAY 2017)

Merlin Karl Schuette, 92, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, left his earthly home to go to his heavenly home on May 24, 2017. There he will be reunited with his wife, Florence, and daughter, Jan. Merlin will be greatly missed by his remaining family and friends.

Merlin was born in the Town of Beaver in Clark Country to the late Hugo and Hulda Schuette (Ihlenfeld) on August 21, 1924. He married Florence L. Miller on June 8, 1946. Merlin attended Colby High School graduating in 1941. After his marriage, he farmed with his wife in the Town of Beaver in Clark County until they moved to Abbotsford in 1959. There he worked as a meat cutter at local grocery stores. In 1968, Merlin and his family moved to Marshfield. While in Marshfield, Merlin worked at Fleming Foods (Hub City Foods) until his retirement in 1987. His major interest other than family and friends was his pride in his home and yard.
