Floyd Merrill died in 1996 and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Stratton, Nebraska. For some reason his name doesn’t come up on Find a Grave website. Trenton Damn / Swanson lake was being built in 1950, this the most likely reason for the name Lake Theater.

A note in a later issue of Boxoffice corrected the story to say that Floyd Merrill opened the Lake in Stratton, Nebraska. But I wonder whether the correction is what was wrong; the 1949 Film Daily Year Book had only the Moon Theatre under Stratton, Colorado.
