- MILTON P. TREAT, furniture dealer of Clinton, Wis., was born
in
- New London, Huron Co., Ohio, on the 21st day of September,
1837, and there resided until eight years of age, when in 1845
he emigrated with his family to the Territory of Wisconsin, and
since that time has made his home in Rock County. He here received
a liberal education in the common schools and academies. In 1863
he left the parental roof and was united in marriage with Miss
Fausta A. CONKLIN, a daughter of D. I. CONKLIN, of Darien, Wis.,
but after three short years of happy wedded life the wife was
called to her final rest. Mr. TREAT was again married in 1868,
the lady of his choice being Mrs. Catherine J. SAXTON, a resident
of Stephenson County, Ill.

- In his political affiliations our subject is a Republican,
having supported that party since its
- organization. He feels a deep interest in its success, but
is a faithful adherent to the principles of temperance and religion,
holding these above party ties. He is a prominent business man
and representative of Clinton, and with good ability and fair
and honest dealing combines an earnest desire to please his customers,
which secures for him a liberal share of the public patronage.
Both Mr. and Mrs. TREAT are members of the Baptist Church in
which they take an active interest. For a number of years he
has filled the office of deacon in the same church, and for thirty
years has been numbered among the prominent Sunday school workers,
and is probably one of the oldest superintendents, in point of
service, in Southern Wisconsin. Such men are an honor to any
community, and Clinton may well be proud that he is numbered
among her citizens.
