George Harris Merryman (28 June 1878 – 6 May 1948) was a country doctor, businessman, and politician from the U.S. state of Oregon.

Merryman was also a pioneer doctor who made house calls by horse and buggy for many years.

In that capacity, he made several trips to the Far East, visiting ports in Japan and China, including Hong Kong.

The Klamath Basin was a relatively undeveloped area, so Merryman made most of his house calls by horse and buggy.

Even after he acquired his first automobile in 1911, he continued to make some house calls on horseback to avoid getting his vehicle stuck on rugged country roads.

[12][13][14] Merryman took his seat in the Oregon Legislative Assembly when the 24th regular session was called to order on 14 January 1907.

[15][16] In 1908, Merryman decided to give up his House seat and run for the state senate in District 17, representing Crook, Klamath, and Lake counties.

After winning the Republican primary, Merryman faced the Democratic nominee, G. Springer, in the general election.

[17][18][19] His election to a four-year state senate term allowed him to attend the regular legislative sessions in both 1909 and 1911.

During the 1909 session, which began on 11 January, Merryman served on the ways and means, enrolled bills, irrigation, public lands, and medicine, pharmacy and dentistry committees.

During that session, Merryman was appointed to the federal regulations, claims, irrigation, and medicine, pharmacy and dentistry committees.

[21][23][24] In 1912, Merryman decide not to run for a second term in the state senate, and he returned to his medical practice in Klamath Falls.

[25][26][27] After being out of state government for six years, Merryman decided to run once again for a seat in the Oregon House of Representatives.

[28][29] Merryman and Denton G. Burdick won the Republican nominations for the two House seats in District 21.

[30] No Democratic filed for the District 21 seats, but an independent candidate, P. H. Dencer, ran in the general election again the two Republicans.

[34][35] After finishing his second term in the House, Merryman remained active in Republican politics, serving as a member of the state central committee.
