A future Milton Junction settler moved to New York state for one year.

The evidence

• “in 1856 moved to New York state, where he remained one year and then moved with his family to Wisconsin, settling first at Richmond, Walworth county, where he remained but one summer and then moved to Rock county, locating in Milton township, where he was engaged in farming until 1867, then moved to Fulton township and purchased the farm upon which Perry now resides and where he himself lived until his death, which occurred April 26, 1894, at the age of eighty-two years. The mother survived until January 12, 1902, when she too passed away—the remains of both resting in the cemetery at Milton Junction.”
