Bert Milligan was born in Mower county, Minnesota, September 22, 1872, a son of John C. and Martha (Lambert) Milligan, both natives of New York state. John C. Milligan came with his parents to Minnesota when a mere lad and located in Mower county.

Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... John O'Connor entered the northwest quarter of section 26, at the land office at Marshall, President Benjamin Harrison signing the final papers on February 21, 1893. Ed H. Crumlett, the Tracy land office, entered the southeast quarter of section 4, and his papers were finally signed by Presdient Chester A. Arthur, October 10, 1882. ORGANIZATION. Delton township was organied by the county commissioners from congressional township 107, range 35 west, on September 17, 1872. The first township meeting was held at the house of J. J.

Great Bend township, which derives its name from the big bend in the Des Moines river within its borders, is situated centrally east and west, on the southern line of Cottonwood county, with Jackson county at the south, Springfield township on the west, Dale township at the north and Lakeside township at the east. It is comprised of congressional township 105, range 36 west. Windom, the county seat of Cottonwood county, is located within this township, of which later account is given. This township had some of the very earliest settlers in the county, owing to the fact that the river courses through this part of the county.
