Merrill Mayor Steve Hass, member of the Historical Preservation Committee, and the family of Roger English invites the public to an honorary sign unveiling on Monday, August 26, 2024 at 4PM at the intersection of W Main and Wright St in the City of Merrill.

Roger, better known in the community as “Budda” (Bud-A) was employed by the then nearby Lincoln County Bank for over 42 years. The family chose this intersection, as he would have passed by it nearly every day walking to and from work and home for lunch. His path on the west side was cemented in the work he accomplished for the citizens of Merrill and his country.
