MAYVILLE- Merlin D. Hall, 90, of Mayville, NY, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. He was born October 25, 1935, in the Town of Stockton, NY, the son of the late Harold M and Bertha Moon Hall.

Merlin was a 1954 graduate of Mayville Central School. He then proudly served his country in the United States Army. Following his honorable discharge, he earned an Associate’s in Business Degree from Jamestown Business College. He devoted many years to his career in banking, retiring as Vice President and Branch Manager of Chase Lincoln Bank in Mayville, NY. Retirement did not keep him from doing what he enjoyed, as he went on to serve as a Loan Officer with Northwest Bank in Jamestown, NY.

He was a member of the Mayville – Chautauqua Lion’s Club and a former member of the Hartfield Fire Department. Merlin enjoyed his family, being outdoors, hunting, cutting wood, traveling, wintering in Florida, and spending time at the family farm and cabin. He also enjoyed sports, rooting for the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was affectionately known as “Crack” from friends going back to his own high school baseball days.

Merlin is survived by his loving wife, Sandra Delcamp Hall, whom he married July 11, 1959, four children, Philip (Mary) Hall of Sugar Grove, PA, Bradley (Cindy) Hall of Dewittville, NY, Linda (Dan) Tota of Jamestown, NY and Lori (Charles) Holder of Bemus Point, NY, twelve grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
