(Juite ofteji in the early yeirs, it was spelled "Millford" in County Court records and newspaper articles, but soon gave way to the present spelling. John D. Williams, Daniel's father, had come from Wales to Baltimore, Maryland in about 1849 when he was only nineteen years o!d. He came to Utah in 1870 as an expert smelter man and was first employed as superintendent of the building and running of a smelter in Juab County. Later he was superintendent of the Chicago Smelter in East Canyon near Tooele, before coming to Frisco for a short time. In 1874 he was employed to erect a smelter for the reduction of ore near Frisco, by William S. Godbe, his employer in East Canyon, but this did not prove successful because of some defect in the water supply so he decided to build one of his own on a site on his son Daniel's property. The smelter was built on the side hill just below where the present high school building stands. A large depression in the center of the southeast walk about midway up the hill marks the spot of the old well. The smelter started out with a "bang" and things in the community were looking very prosperous. came, the side hill near the center of Arvin Stoddard's property was selected for a mill site by a mining company just coming Into the area. Daniel was employed by this Mill which was erected in the fall of 1873 on the hill near where the present library stands. He was sitting up by the mill one day watching the ore wagons rumble down the road from the Cave Mine with their loads for the mill when he got an idea. It was necessary for the wagons to ford the river since no bridge had been constructed yet, therefore the crossing, (about where the present bridge is located, 13 mile southeast of town), became known as the mill ford. He decided to name the town Milford. "The name caught on, and soon was re NEWS ADVERTISERS U D nn mm D "it Mo L-lL- USPS Send ddrcss change to Beer County )68, MilforK, Utah 87S1, Telephone!
