The 1954 "Spotlight", the School annual, was dedicated to Mrs E.G. "Grandma" Morfey.
"Grandma" Morfey, a long time Milford Twp resident and everyone's grandmother, is presented a plaque at a PTA meeting in Oct of 1955 by Superintendent Keith Hopkins with the longtime seventh and eighth grade teacher, Mrs Jessie Petersen, looking on.
"Grandma" Morfey's name was Bertha Elsie (Portor) Morfey. She was married to E.G. "Ted" Morfey and they moved to Milford Twp in 1903. They lived in section 33 south of the Milford Consolidated School two and a half miles on the west side of the road. They had one youngster, Ross.
Grandma Morfey's obituary (She died in 1963 at the age of 87) mentions just the cold facts but doesn't mention her great interest in Milford Twp and her sincere interest in the young people of Milford Twp and how she attended such a large percentage of the events that were held in the Milford Consolidated School gym--how she had a warm smile for every student and whether she actually did it or not, a loving pat on the back for those who had succeeded in some task, and the same loving pat for those who might not have done as well as they would have liked to have done. Yes, she was everyone's Grandma.
Her husband, Edward George, E.G., was from England and was among the early school board members in the consolidated school. Morfeys on page 249.
