Born seventh of twelve children, he was son of John and Elizabeth Randall Schooler.
Served as a private in Co. A, 44th Missouri Infantry, during the Civil War. He married first to Clora Ann King on Feb. 14, 1867. She was the daughter of Joshua and Lucinda White King. Together, Milton and Clora Ann had ten children. Only six grew to adulthood. After Clora's death, he married Ursulla O. Kirkendoll. They shared a place with a man, his wife and son named Adam. One morning an argument started between the men over Adam's horses getting into the apple orchard. At the time Adam was sharpening a pocket knife and in the fracus, Milton got his jugular vein cut. It is said he whipped Adam, then sat down under a tree, pulled off his boots, poured the blood out of them and died. Adam was found guilty of 4th degree manslaughter and served time for this in the Missouri State Prison.
Milton died on his mother's birthday and the 3 year anniversary of his 1st wife, Clory Ann's, death. He had red hair.
