Story1: 1911-12 Directory of Miami opposite Rugby: Howard Worz (Luella) machinist
Story 2: Gus Worz probably acquired this property in or before 1915.  He was the son of Martin Worz who "arrived in New York from Germany about 1840.  He carried a certificate of completion of the trade of tinsmith from Wurtenberg.  In Melrose, New York, he married a German girl, Eloise Kummel, who died giving birth to his son, Joseph.  He then went to Cincinnati and married Margretha Schrorey or Schorr, also a German.  She was the mother of Gustav A. Worz (1856-1941).  The exact year they came to the Milford area is not known.  Martin Worz died in 1876 and his wife passed on in 1893."  (from the book about Milford, Bridge to the Past, by the Milford Historical Society.)  The Worz/Achor family home at 140 Wooster Pike was built by Gus Worz about 1889.  The house burned down to the ground soon after it was built but Gus had it rebuilt exactly the same.  Robert Achor's parents purchased the house from Gus in 1915.  (The mortgage loan was recorded at the Milford Savings and Loan Company.)  The house next door was owned by Gus' half brother, Joseph, a blacksmith (like his father) in Montauk  It may have been at this time that Gus moved to 313 Miami. (Information from Robert L. Achor, great grandson of Martin Worz.  There is much more information about the family from Robert Achor in the Worz file.)
