"Milton S. Kistler, a real estate dealer and prominent citizen of New York City, was born in Perry County, Pennsylvania Jan. 5, 1868. He was educated in the common schools, graduated from West Chester State Normal School in 1888; graduated from Dickinson College in 1894, and later took a post-graduate course in pedagogy and philosophy in Howard and Clark University. He thus became thoroughly qualified for work as an instructor and supervisor. He accepted the professorship of Latin and English in the Edinburgh State Normal School, serving this position with marked ability for three and one-half years, when he resigned to accept a similar position in the DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City. He continued to serve this position until 1900, when he resigned to engage in the real estate business. Mr. Kistler has large real estate holdings along the subway, near Coney Island. He has employed from forty to fifty people and transacts a tremendous volume of business annually. He has offices in the World building, located in the heart of the business center of the metropolis of America. Mr. Kistler is married and is a member of the Methodist Church, and the various bodies of the Masonic Fraternity, being a high degree Free Mason." Source: HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, 1914, P. 671
