Milton Monroe McPherson

Milton Monroe McPherson, Jr., 65, died Thursday, January 13, 2022 at Monroe County Hospital in Monroeville, Alabama following a year-long battle with cancer.

Mr. McPherson was born October 31, 1956 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. After living briefly in small college towns throughout the South, the family settled in Troy, Ala. where Milton was a member of the Charles Henderson High School Class of 1974.

Following a brief tour of duty in the Navy after high school, Milton attended Troy State University (now Troy University) in Troy, Ala., before relocating to Austin, Texas in 1982. Austin was his home for nearly 30 years, where he was an ardent competitive chess player, air-cooled Volkswagen tinkerer – at one time running his own one-man air-cooled engine werks – and where he indulged his lifelong love of animals, rescuing many dogs and cats over the years. He retired from the City of Austin to the ancestral homestead in south Monroe County,

Ala., land owned by the maternal line extending back to the “Alabama Fever” original settlement, one of the first great land booms in the United States, and located on the Old Federal Road, a vital overland route that played a large role in the United States victory in the War of 1812. Here he lived the life of a genteel country gentleman, passing the time on long walks with his beloved dogs and showing an impressive aptitude for fruit and vegetable gardening. He is survived by his brother Herbert McPherson and sister Gretchen McPherson, both of Vocation, Ala.; his uncles Bart (Irene) McPherson of Hiawasee, Ga.; Jimmie (June) McPherson of Monroeville, Ala.; his aunts Anna Laura Brown of Beatrice, Ala.; Evalyn (Bill)

Lucius of Carlsbad, Ca.; and Ernestine Gartman of Saraland, Ala. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Herbert S. and Jessie Coley; Laurence M. and Annie Mae Bell McPherson; parents, Milton M. McPherson Sr. and Carolyn Elizabeth

Coley McPherson; uncles Larry McPherson and Herbert Stanley Coley, Jr.; and cousins Laurence McPherson and Herbert S. “Nape” Coley III.
