To make changes in Milford —

Evans closing Wakarusa store, to keep Milford store open

Evans’ Family Store will remain in Milford. But one of the family-owned stores, located in Wakarusa, will close its doors in December after a liquidation sale. According to/ Max Evans, owner of both stores, the closing of the Wakarusa store is because of the influence felt by the malls in the area. People have opted to do their shopping in the malls, rather than the old-fashioned store. The store, located in the 100 block of East Waterford Street,

was originally known as Wolfberg’s Department Store. It first opened in 1907 but then closed up shop in 1983 when the Wolfberg family sold the building to Dr. Robert Abel. It was at that time that Evans leased the building and expanded his Milford-based department store. “We just couldn’t compete with the malls and the expensive lease,” said Evans, owner of the two stores. “That is the difference between Wakarusa and Milford. In Milford I could take a

small loss because I own the building. In Wakarusa I had to pay that high rent.” With 'the closing of the one store, Evans forsees several changes in the Milford store. “We have talked about some changes, but are not sure exactly what we will do.” Perhaps the biggest change in the store will be the addition of men’s clothing. They will expand to meet the needs of the very large man. Sizes will range from IX to SX. “We are not surprised by the outcome in Wakarusa, we knew it would take a lot of work,” said Evans. “But it will be good to be able to concentrate on one store.” The Evans Family Store, serving the needs of Milford residents since 1976, will continue carrying the “hard to find items” that most people need.

Milford's Main street

A TOTAL of 13 people from the Milford community worked at the Wilson home at 408 West Catherine Street in Milford on October 6 to help with a project started by Jerry Wilson before his untimely death. The workers went from the foundation to the roof and turned what might have become one big “basketball court” into the family room the Wilsons had planned on building. All who helped agreed it was a day well spent and Jerry ’s family now has a completed room instead of a big slab of cement in the back yard.

Their children presented them with two lovely homemade gifts certain to become cherished keepsakes. A Tree of Life Quilt, designed by their son J.C.’s wife, Kathy, is a colorful collage of their life story. The center block is a tree, with their children’s names embroidered on the branches, and the nine grandchildren's names embroidered on bright apples that were applique'd onto the tree limbs. The blocks surrounding the tree were applique’d with pictures of their various hobbies and interests. One block was a blue gill, because Harold loves to fish; one was an artist s palette, a salute to Esther’s oil painting. Other blocks contained pictures of their old farm in Etna Green , a cow’ and a chicken; their house on the lake; a map of Florida; a map of Indiana; and many others. ® The other keepsake is a memory book, compiled by their son. Dr. J.C. Gawthrop. of Renssalaer, with the help of their other son, James, and his wife, Janice, of Goshen, and daughter, Mary Hissong, of Illinois. > The book, with a fabric cover edged in lace, framing one of Harold and Esther s w edding pictures. is charming. The children wrote to their parent’s friends, asking them to write down their most treasured memory of Harold and Esther. These memories are interspersed with baby pictures, family pictures, and anecdotes of their family history. Esther said that it was a wonderful anniversary celebration, and that both gifts were treasures. She was really surprised and delighted with them both.
