It had brick paved streets, numerous businesses including a bank, a hotel, a law office, a barber shop, a saloon, a resturant, a hardware store, several other stores, many homes, a horse track, a ballpark, a recreation camp, a depot, and L.B. Parker's saw mill. The famous flood of 1886 (Little Mulberry Creek) deposited two to three feet of sand on Milton. Because the people had no machinery to remove the sand, the town was basically abandoned. (Old Autauga, Portrait of A Deep South County, Larry W. Nobles.) Surely there was a cemetery or two at Milton which was lost in this flood. Barry
