This beautiful photo, actually taken in Warren Township Four miles southeast of McCallsburg, shows a group of young people, two of whom later are wed. The teacher, the tallest fellow in the photo, William A. Stevenson and the first girl to his left, Bertha Menzel, were later wed and became long time residents of Milford Township. The William Stevensons moved to Milford Township in the Spring of 1923 and lived on the south side of section 26 on the north side of the road- just across the road from the county home farm. They were the parents of three Milford Students- Vera 32, Earl (Died, 1938, at 15 while in the eighth grade), and Richard 47. A portion of Earl's story is told in `Tragedies in Milford Twp' - 1938 Death- page 74.
Their daughter,Vera, started the Milford portion of her schooling in a one room school for the first several months of that first year. There were thirty-seven students in this one class, however, by graduation time in 1932, the number had dropped to seventeen; but this still was the largest class to graduate from Milford Twp.
