MILO CARLTON, farmer, P. O. Pardee, is a native of Massachusetts, and was born in Franklin County, August 8, 1814. At an early age, came with parents to Ohio, his father, Joseph, being one of the early settlers of the Western Reserve, where Milo was reared and educated. He was a resident of the counties of Medina, Loraina and Ashland, and lived in one place, caused by changes of the lines. The Carltons are of English ancestry. His mother, Dolly Parmley, was a native of Vermont. In 1853, Mr. Carlton came to Kansas, locating in Center Township, being about the first in that vicinity. He was one of the company who was interested in starting and laying out the town of Pardee, and has figured prominently from that date to the present, doing all in his power for the best interests of the village. A few years ago, he built a flour mill which was to be operated by wind power. It proved rather a disastrous enterprise, owing to its being demolished by a storm. He has been closely associated with the educational interests of the community, and a few settlers are more favorably known. He was married in Massachusetts, to Miss Harriet Gate. Mr. and Mrs. Carlton, although advanced in years, are hale and hearty.
