Elizur Ruggles
dod 3-12-1876
aged 69y 3m 14d

Additional Comments:
The Village of Milford began with the building of a sawmill by Elizur and 
Stanley Ruggles in 1832. Early county records indicate that the mill was 
erected in the "Township" at that time, and that formal organization would 
occur in 1834. That same year, the first grist mill was erected by Luman 
Fuller. In 1835, the first post office was established with Aaron Phelps as 
postmaster.
