1986 is Milford's sesquicentennial year
Not many things last 150 years these days, with disposable and recyclable “everything” being produced, but one week in 1986 has been set aside for Milford residents to relive the traditional days, as they celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of this northeastern Indiana town. June 1 will culminate more than nine months of planning and years of anticipation as sesquicentennial activities get underway, inciting a celebration unlikely to be duplicated for several years. Planning for the events began as early as last October, with a central planning committee being formed. Jean Treesh, town board president, was selected to serve as chairman of the committee, with Evelyn Orn taking over secretarial duties and Don Arnold chosen as treasurer. Other central planning committee members include: Dave Antu, from the Philadelphia Evangelical Spanish Assembly of God; Arch Baumgartner, of The Mail-Journal; Dan Brown, from Kiwanis Club; Randall (Tim) Dewart; Ruth Hoppus, from Columbia Reading Circle;

GLORY DAYS — Cable road workers on Main Street, Milford, take a break to pose for the camera in this shot, staged around 1906. Campbell’s Downtown Store stands in the background. The old standpipe, used as a source of water for the town until it was tore down July 12,1985, is also visible in the distance. Milford residents will be celebrating June 1-7, as they honor the town’s 150th birthday.
Today And Tomorrow — Wed., Feb. 19,1986
Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Thursday from 9 a.m.;to noon and Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Evening appointments are welcome. According to the owners, business was excellent in 1985 and they expect 1986 to be even better. Sales are very steady yearround on all merchandise. Extensive remodeling has been achieved during the past two years. Love Furniture carries all styles, contemporary, early American and traditional. Man-made materials are continuing to be the most popular for both carpet and upholstery products. A special order room with large fabric samples is being added this year for the customer who is looking for a special one-of-a-kind look. The owners, Gerald and Dina Hubartt and Rich and Lisa Hubartt, now in their 21st year of service in the Lakeland area, point out that when buying home furnishings the reputation of the dealer is very important. They feel good service has helped them maintain a good reputation as an area home furnishings dealer. The operators of Love Furniture are familiar with the brands they carry and can recommend just the right style and brand of home furnishings based on a customer’s needs and finances.

Several sub committees were then organized to deal with more specific activity catagories. With fund raising activities kicking off Dec. 21, in the form of a bake sale, the sesquicentennial committee members were well on their way to earning money to back the celebration, which is expected to bring money to Milford in return. t However, the town isn’t out to make money, but rather to make the birthday celebration a fixture in every Milford resident’s mind, according to Treesh. * That feat won’t likely be denied if all the planning put into the special week materializes. A parade is appropriately slated tp climax the week’s activities on June 7, as Milford residents bid farewell to visitors and store away newfound memories, likely to be relived in their minds for several years to come.
