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.) "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 123, No 5, p 80, Aug. 2, 1937.
