He married Laverne Elvira Schneider Georg on April 24, 1954, with Pastor John Winter officiating at Perrin Beitel Lutheran Church in San Antonio. They had 2 children which they raised on their farm in Bracken. Melford did farming for many years alongside being a painter and then changed professions to auto mechanics until retirement.

Melford was a member of several organizations including Germania Farmer Verein (Anhalt), Bracken Volunteer Fire Department, Comal PTA, and the Comal County Farm Bureau serving in many capacities at each of these organizations. He and Laverne were members at several Lutheran churches and served the Lord in each congregation. While being a member at Triumphant Lutheran Church, it was here that he began to master the art of making the most tender, melt in the mouth barbeque brisket at the Octoberfest which the church held each fall. Currently, he and Laverne are members at St. Paul Lutheran Church in New Braunfels. They helped with the Pew Pals to clean and organize hymnals and bibles in the pews. One of the last organizations he served was on the Board of Directors for the Wetmore Cemetery.
