BURIAL Pelzer Memorial Cemetery
Pelzer, Anderson, South Carolina, USA
The identity of this cemetery is questionable. His wife is buried in the Pine Lawn Cemetery at Pelzer.
DEATH AFT 19 APR 1910

Historical Notes
Milton apprenticed to become a Blacksmith in the home of his future father-in-law, John Adair, at the age of eighteen. He acquired the nickname "Moses" at a young age, as the result of his deep religious convictions.
On 10 January 1862, he enlisted as a Private in Company D, 22d South Carolina Infantry Regiment, at Columbia, for service during the War Between the States. In 1863, he was detailed to the 7th Battalion, South Carolina Infantry, at Jackson, Mississippi, to perform duty as a Blacksmith. In January 1864, he was further transferred to the Confederate shoe factory, at Columbus, Georgia, where he remained until the war ended.
