Sesquicentennial Memories

In days gone by...

Arlington, Texas. A glance at this photo and a walk down Milford’s Main Street show how much The Papers Incorporated have grown since Baumgartner’s early days at the old Milford Mail.

Milford's Main street

STEVE AND Dennis Repiqgle have received approval from the area plan commission for a new subdivision east of Milford on Beer Road. The brothers have named their subdivision Beanland, after their late father Clifford (“Bean") Replogle. The three one-acre lots are located on the north side of the road, just west of Steve’s house. Our guess is the way building lots are in Milford it won’t be long until there are three new houses in Beanland. THE LATEST newsletter from the county historical society contains information on Milford observing its sesquicentennial this summer. It reads, “Milford observed its 150th birthday this summer. The celebration included a parade and a pork chop dinner at the fire station. On the main street were booths showing antiques, arts and crafts. A temporary museum was set up in the community center (funny I thought it was in Dr. Rheinheimer’s old office). “The town of Milford was laid out on April 10th, 1836. The sponsor and proprietor, Judge Perine, also cashed in by using his house as the area’s first hotel. The first general store had the impressive name of Chipman, Chipman & Doolittle. A railroad, the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan, opened through Milford in 1870, adding to the prosperity of the little village. “Milford is known for its industry, its neat library, and as a survey of residential styles. It has two distinguished houses from the 1860 s, an early saltbox, a turreted Victorian brick manse, and later bungalows.” KEITH M. and Lydia Jones of Wethersfield, Conn., will be observing their 50th wedding anniversary on Friday, Sept. 12, and will be guests at a small gathering of friends and family. It will be a surprise to the Joneses, “a small family gettogether,” according to their daughter, Marcia Peling, LPN, at the Hartford Hospital. The Joneses will be presented with a scrapbook of cards, photographs and messages from their many friends and close family members. Keith and the former Lydia Marie Fox are long time residents of 19 Old Pewter Lane,
