Few men, indeed, ever crowded their
days fuller of intelligent, methodical
hard work than he, and as q result he
acquired competency He served
through the civil war in Company f,
Orr's Rifles, and his record was the kind
that has made the prowess and renown
OF tho Southern soldiers the pride of our
people and the admiration Of the world.
Mr.. Milford was a man of the strongest
convictions, and these he maintained in
tho face of any and all opposition; there
was literally no dissimulation in him,
and men always knew where to locate
him. He would not have been human il
he had not sometimes erred, and he
may have erred in many things, but he
was absolutely honest minded in his
principles. He was true man in all
the relations of life, true to every obliga-
tion resting upon him whether for time
or eternity, and it cannot be that he has
failed in his reward"
