<p>CHARLOTTE HALL, MD. &#8212;07/04/2014 &#8212; <strong>St. Mary’s County Commissioner Larry Jarboe</strong> reports that his father, longtime <strong>Charlotte Hall businessman Merton Jarboe</strong> died this morning, on July 4, 2014.</p>
<p>Commissioner Jarboe’s father operated the Charlotte Hall Lumber Company for decades before turning the operation over to his son, Larry Jarboe, in 1992.</p>
<p>Merton Jarboe suffered a stroke in 1997 and a disastrous fire hit the saw mill the next year. Merton Jarboe had been in a nursing home since being sidelined by the stroke.</p>
<p>No funeral service is being planned by the family, said Commissioner Jarboe. Arrangements are being made by a local funeral home.</p>
