BIG TRUCK OUTFIT
GOES INTODTTCH

A large tractor and double-trail-
er outfit, operated by the CCC
trucking company, went into the
ditch along the Marysville-Milford
Center rd., Tuesday monring, to
avoid head-on collision with a
gravel truck approaching from
the opposite direction.
The accident occurred in front of
the Ralph RouSh farm on the Mil
ford rd., not far from the Buck
Run bridge.
Driver of the CCC truck, Will
liam Hobart Cleveland, told Sher-
iff II. S. RooSa he drove into the
ditch to avoid hitting a Marysville
Sand & Gravel co. truck being
driven toward MarySville by Maur-
ice Davis.
The latter it was reported,
started around the automobile of
rural mail carrier who had stop
ped in front of the Roush home. A
pparently, Davis failed to notice
the CCC truck coming and pulled
directly in front of Hobart.
The accident happened about
1920 am. and il was approXimat-
ely $50 pm. before a wrecker
from Springfield had the huge
truck outfit out of the ditch. Sher-
iff Roosa and Deputy Dewey Epps
spent most of the day at the scene
directing traffic.
In addition to damage to the
CCC truck, several rods of fence
along the Roush property was torn
out and a utility pole was damaged.

PRESENT MILFORD MAIL SERVICE FAR
CRY FROM HORSEBACK ROUTE OF 1887

Perhaps not everyone knows it,
but the community of Milford
Center enjoys the best mail service
in Union county so far as cores
pondence with other communities
is concerned.
At the present time, there are
more mail trains in and out of Mil
ford than even MarySville. Not all
Of them stop to unload mail, but
each of them carries mail and
first class letters are thrown off as
the train goes through town.
But it was not always so.
An early history of Union coun-
ty, quoting from the Ohio Gazette,
Columbus, under date of 1887, re-
cords that Milford was on mail
route No. 1916, and the mail was
carried on horseback once a week
from Columbus through this place
and back"
First Postmaster
First postmaster was David
Burnham, and the first poStoffice,
probably his store or home.
The present postmaster is Ralph
Connolly, who has served for the
past 10 years. Always a willing and
capable servant, Mr.. Connolly'S un-
tiring efforts have been especially
appreciated by the people of his
community during the war.
From almost the very start of
the War, Mr.. and Mrs. Connolly
have both made especial effort to
get letters from service men in the
hands of loved ones at home.
Scarcely a Sunday or holiday went
by that the Cononllys didn't make
at least one trip to deliver a sold
iers letter, often going several
miles into the country.
! Soldiers Pictures Displayed
| AS further evidence of his inter-
est in the service men, Mr.. Con-
molly at one time collected as many
photographs of them as possible
and made a display in the post of
flee window. There were 125 pic
lures in that display.
Until 1929 there were two rural
routes out of the Milford post of
flee. They were served by Carl
Lawrence and Van Davis. Upor
consolidation of the two routes
Mr.. Davis carried them until his
retirement on July 10, 1882. Since
that time, the rural patrons of the
Milford post office have been
served by S. c. Greenfield.
Postmaster who served the COM
munity longest was Morey Snod-
grass, who held the position from
1870 to 1885. 1t was then located in
Mr.. Snodgrass' general store
where Beulah'S restaurant now is
situated.
other POStmaSters
Following Mr.. Snodgrass was
John Flemming, who served to his
death in 1883, and was followed by
Charles Rice.
John CranSton, who died only a
few weeks ago, was Milford post
master for four years, following
Mr. Rice. George Bennett then
took over the job in 1892, and the
Post office was moved to where
Kaufman's modern food market is
located now.
Edgar Hathaway became post.
master in 1897, serving until 1904
when he left to go to Kansas City
and become associated with Mont.
gomery Ward He was followed by
Lou Burnham, Eugene Mcconnell
and Peck" Stillings each served
several years, the latter being
postmaster Immediately preceding
| Mr.. Connolly.
1t is interesting to note thai
there are no living ex-posmasterE
of Milford Center, Mr.. CanStor
being the last of them.
