Bob Buecher! Are you on vacation? We need you for this conversation. Bob and I both grew up in Millstadt, and Bob is Historian Extraordinaire on matters Millstadt. Yes, Jim Schneider has it right (as it was taught to me and as printed in most history-of-Millstadt literature). The village wanted to be Mittelstadt, but it came back from the State as read: "Millstadt". "Centerville Road" --which still exists-- lead from Columbia (Monroe Co.) to Millstadt. There is also a Centerville Avenue from Belleville into Millstadt. This matter of Center (re) ville and Millstadt is confusing as the community of Centerville, north of Millstadt, exists, and many of its dearly departed are buried in a cemetery south of Centerville [or north of Millstadt], with a Millstadt address. So, people from Centerville are announced that they are buried in a Millstadt cemetery. Bob, what can you add to the township in question? Cheers, all, Marsha
