Sr facts about $ S ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. Sssstwsssssssssssssssssssssssx-siv By JERI SEELY Paul Ruch of Our Town has loaned us some old photos of two wrecks which happened in Milford years ago. The photo above shows a derailment of the interurban at the south bend of town about 64 years ago. Mr?Ruch is one of the young boys' in the front of the photos and remembers one of the Rassi girls was on the train at the time of the accident. Does anyone have any additional information? Little and Clark insurance agency of Our Town has been cited by Time Insurance Company of Milwaukee, Wis.. for their 15 years of affiliation with the firm as an independent agency. A letter recognizing the anniversary has been received by the local firm. A large crowd was on hand Sunday afternoon for the dedication of the new church athletic center at the Christian church in Our Town. The Jackson Brothers and Craig Fox from Great Lakes Bible college in Lansing. Mich., were on hand to participate in the day’s activities. The annual church picnic followed. As Mr. and Mrs. Phil Beer walked off the stage at WHS Saturday night with their brood of nine, after they had sung several numbers, Fred Walgamuth of Akron leaned over his seat and said, “There’s the richest man here tonight!” Bud and 1 didn’t make the alumni this year as we were off to a Lions meeting in Elkhart but I’ve heard it was a very successful one with an interesting program and the committee should be congratulated. I did hear some comments from a few old grads that they wished the committee would consider holding the alumni banquet in the Milford junior high school as the building has special memories for them. This might be something to consider in years to come. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Brown of Our Town. They will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary tomorrow. The Browns reside on Henry street and were wonderful neighbors when we too lived in that neighborhood a few years ago. Mrs. Arden (Betty) Miller called Tuesday a.m. to let us in on a little “'rumor** which we thought interesting enough to print and considering the source we don’t even think it much of a rumor.
