Milton’s family expresses their gratitude to the staff at Hillside Manor for their exceptional care and affection.

Milton was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on Oct 16, 1936, to Milton M. and Alice E. (Marquart) Ehrhardt. He graduated from Mayville High School with the class of 1955. Milton farmed near Oakfield, WI until 1996. Shortly after he left farming, Milton suffered a serious spinal injury that left him a permanent quadriplegia. Despite his various physical handicaps, Milton’s non-complaining attitude endeared him to the staff at Hillside Manor in Beaver Dam.

Milton is survived by three brothers; Dr. Alan Ehrhardt (Ramona) of Beaver Dam, Myron Ehrhardt (Lenita) of Oakfield, and Thomas Ehrhardt (Barbara) of Oshkosh, numerous nieces and nephews, and grand nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Charles, who died in infancy.
