Milton was united in marriage to Gladys E. Schafer on December 2, 1935, and they lived and farmed in the Gardner area. They retired from farming in 1979, but continued to make their home on the farm. Gladys died October 23, 2003, and Milton remained on the farm until his death at MeritCare Hospital, Fargo, ND, on Tuesday, April 14, 2009, at ninety-five years of age.

He was an active member of Nora Lutheran Church, having served on the church council as its president, secretary, and treasurer over the years.
