     HARRY MERRILL, a well known business man of Exeter, chief
clerk for the A. E. McReel Company, has been identified with this im-
portant business concern for a number of years, both under its present
and former management. He was born at Exeter, N. H., April 4, 1874,
and is a son of David W. and Mary (Coffin) Merrill. The father was
born at Exeter, N. H., and the mother at Newburyport, Mass. She
survives and hves at Exeter but the father is deceased, his burial being
at Exeter. They had three children: Sarah E., Harry and Florence
M. C. In early business life the father followed farming.
     Harry Merrill was graduated from the Exeter High school in the
class of 1892 and afterward, for ten years, was a clerk in a clothing
store. He then went into the lumber business in partnership with
Col. H. W. Anderson and was also connected with the Anderson coal
business, although not as a partner, and continued as clerk after the
McReel Company bought the Anderson interest. His reliability and
efficiency have brought him into close relations with keen business men,
and the reputation he has won is well sustained.
     In June, 1903, Mr. Merrill was married to Miss Harriet C. Stock-
man, who was born at Newburyport, a daughter of Joseph and Rhoda
(Sargent) Stockman. The father of Mrs. Merrill was a ship chandler

David D. They are members of the First Congregational Church ir
which he was an official for five years. In political sentiment he is a
republican.
