facts about ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY There’s some humor in this picture, if you can find it. When the Jefferson township farmer dumped the wagon load of marijuana in his hog pen last week (photo on page 1 of last week’s M-J), along with some corn, his hogs made a mad rush for the corn, but scorned the marijuana. Does this tell you anything? Mrs. Pret Poe of west Catherine street, Milford, will be 90 years young on January 26, 1970. She and her late husband were married February 6, 1889, by the late W. E. Groves, then editor of The Milford Mail and Methodist minister. The Poes had four children: Mrs. Burl (Gladys) Martz, Nappanee, Mrs. Eugene W. (Beulah) Felkner, Milford; Mrs. Alonzo (Gertrude) Zentz, Nappanee; and a son Howard, deceased. Mrs. Poe, remarkable alert for her 89 years, states she has 10 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchil-dren and nine great-great-grand-children. ♦ $ $ In case you missed, friend husband and me during the past few days it’s because we were enjoying our vacation in the southwestern states. We visited 10 states before returning to Indiana. Among the points of interest on our trip were Lincoln’s home and tomb in Springfield, 111., and the town of New Salem a where he resided for a time; the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest and the Grand Canyon of Arizona; Hoover Dam on the Arizona-Nevada border; Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the point in that state where the railroads met and connected the Atlantic and Pacific coasts by rail just 100 short years ago. What can one say about the men who landed on the moon! All we can say is that we’re proud to be an American and proud that the first footprints to be left on the moon were by Americans. We watched with wonder as Purdue graduate Neil Armstrong walked down his ladder on Sunday evening and were thrilled a short time later as the two men put up the American flag and they continued their assigned work with it “flying” in the picture. Now all we can do is offer a prayer that those three men may have a safe journey back to earth.
