Merandy’s mother, Peg, held the Bible as her son took the oath. Susan Early did the honors for her sister Marie Early, and Murphy was assisted by her husband, Ed Murphy. The three were elected March 18 and join incumbents Michael Bowman and Cathryn Fadde on the five-member board. The newly constituted Village Board met for the first time on April 7.
