Albert Edward Milton was born on Decenber 16, 1880 to George Henry and Elizabeth Jane Forsyth Milton in Maywood Township, Benton County, Minnesota. Albert had 10 brothers and sisters and was raised on the family farm just north of Foley, Minnesota. When he was 15 years old, his father George died and Albert and his older brothers William and George worked their mothers farm to support the family. During the summer the brothers would work the farm and in the winter they worked in the "Big Woods" in the Mille Lacs Lake area. On October 12, 1907, Albert married Bertha Marie Eddy in St. Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota. To this union three children were born, Bruce, Myron and little sister Garnet.
In 1909, Albert, his wife Bertha and baby Bruce traveled by train to the state of Washington to work in the woods. Prior to Myrons birth in October 1910, the family returned to Minnesota to live. Life was not easy, and Albert worked out as a laborer on local farms in the Ronneby, Minnesota area to earn a living. In 1914, the family owned a small 36 acre farm in Section 2 of Maywood Township in Benton County. In the 1920 federal census the Bert Milton family was living in Ronneby and Bert was listed as a farm laborer.
In 1921 the family moved to the Mille Lacs Lake area and rented a small house in Section 18 of South Harbor Township where Albert continued to farm and worked out on the William Benzie farm. During the winter of 1924/25, Albert became very ill with a respiratory problem and traveled to Foley, Minnesota to doctor and stay with his mother Jennie Milton and his in-laws, Myron and
Clare Eddy. His conditioned worsened and on April 17, 1925 he died, leaving his young family "up in the woods" to fend for themselves. Bruce and Myron worked a small farm that their mother bought in Bradbury Township and worked out in the woods, cutting fire wood to sell to the local creamery and high school. (Bruce S. Milton Research)

Seeing possibilities in the hotel business in Ronneby, he moved his family there in 1902 and for the next three years he ran the Ronneby Hotel. At this time Foley was merely a logging camp run by the Foley Bros. who were logging off Benton County. He then moved onto a farm north of Ronneby with his family and for three years he took up farming. In 1908, due to failing health, he moved to Foley where he resided until he died on April 1, 1929 from a heart problem.
