‘Bud’ Stranahan: A true town father

By TOM KANE

NARROWSBURG — If ever anyone merited the title of town father in Narrowsburg, it’s Milton “Bud” Stranahan.

Stranahan, 79, spent 45 years working at, and finally owning, a Main Street hardware store that he and his father bought from the Schneider brothers.

He served as Town of Tusten Clerk and Register of Vital Statistics for 25 years, and Secretary/Treasurer of the Narrowsburg Fire District for 45 years.

Stranahan retired from the fire district and received a plaque for his service on April 5.

“As secretary/treasurer, he pretty much ran the operation for so many years,” said Chris Ropke, chairman of the fire commissioners.
