Roy Merrill was one of my paternal great grandfathers. He was also head custodian at the Nebraska Capitol Building for almost forty years. Here in this photograph we can see him shaking hands with then President Ike Eisenhower. Standing right is the then Nebraska Governor, Val Peterson. The original photograph shown was given to me by my grandmother, Hazel Alice Merrill. I am in possession of it still. This original photograph has Ike's signature attached in marker.
