Charles ; Milton , Delaware is not a large town. Delaware Route 5 smack runs
thru the center of the town. Route 5 is also Union St on the north side of town
and Federal St on the south side of town. These two streets make a dog leg turn
in the very center of the downtown. Odd Fellows is on Union St. , which is going
north & south, on the east side, perhaps 200 yards south from a red light at
the intersection of Rt 5 and Rt 16. If you have access to 'google map' look for
Tobin Street, Milton, DE. There is the cemetery. There is also a large and older
cemetery on Chestnut Street. It is Goshen Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery.
Chestnut St is on the north side of town, one street to the east of Rt 5 or
Federal Street. I have a list with the names, up to 1964, of these cemetery's.
I also live not far and have knowledge of the town. Can I help you?
