-Merle Wilson was born in 1910, the second child of [[James Garfield Wilson|Jim Wilson]] and [[Lorena Bernice Mayer]].   He married Elda Bickel.  Merle and his sister Pearl both married Bickels and later lived on adjacent farms (just west of Rt. 8, on the south side of Rt.108 going toward Slippery Rock).  This suggests they may have divided the old Bickel farm between them.
