Couple Auctions After 50 Years of Homemaking
An elderly couple in a small town held a single afternoon sale at 523 Reynolds Ave to auction 50 years of household goods. Eugene Miller and his wife, married in 1915, watched as items from the basement and garden sparked memories, including a 1922 Life of Christ railer. Miller, aging and in poor health, stayed for only part of the auction, while neighbors and grown daughters observed the end of a long era and the shifting value of keepsakes.
