- Mr. CRANDALL loved to reminisce - that Milton Junction
is on land that was once
- his father's farm - that he used to hoe corn on what is now
the main street - that his father leased land to the railroad
company for a term of 99 years - that this land is not only used
by the railroad company for its right of way but it includes
the park, the land occupied by the Milton Junction lumber company
and all of Main street to the very doors of many of the business
places. (For that reason some buildings were set back several
feet so as not to be on the leased land.) [Thursday edition,
