Milford was a lawyer and lived in Columbus, Indiana retiring from his law practice in 1983. He spent a lot of time in Metamora and had a hardware store business for ten years there by the Whitewater Canal. He was deeply involved with preserving the history of this area of Indiana and wrote two books, "The Song of Metamoris" and "Forever the Song" both books rich in Indiana history. He also wrote a book, "Stars Over America" which dealt with the inner workings of government and even had a chapter concerning the government's handling (or mishandling) of the UFO phenomenom. He served in the Indiana Senate, a Republican, from 1946 to 1955 and was judge of Fayette Circuit Court from 1955 to 1962. He served as a trustee for the Cincinnati Bible Seminary thirty years and was director of Central Africa Churches of Christ Missions. Milford was a World War II veteran and served in the South Pacific Theater from 1943-45. He left behind his wife, Marie Anness, daughter, Suzanne Gillum; sons, Ronald, Edwin, Mark, and Dennis Anness: eight grandchildren, a great-grandchild. I knew this man through my grandmother and my father and can testify to his generosity, gentleness, and kindness to others.
