- According to the 1873 atlas and 1917 atlas for Rock County,
there were seven rural schools in Milton
- Township. Thanks to Sue (Vien) Carlson for placing Merrifield school, Georgia Roe for
placing Paul school and to
Clark Kidder for his extensive knowledge of Milton & Fulton
township schools!
- The location and current status of these school buildings
is given below (using the modern road names).
- Thanks to Clark Kidder & Georgia Roe for the names of
