Milo’s property was about 30 blocks east of the Mississippi river on Mulholland St. (see the red marker in the map above).
The 5th Ward boundaries were Cutler Street on the north; Mulholland Street on the south; the river on the west and east at least as far as the city limits (surveyed city blocks extended for 32 blocks east from the river). This ward included the Nauvoo temple site. The highlighted area in the map above are the approximate ward boundaries.

Got something to say?
Milo was one of 20 bishops of the 5th ward not THE bishop. At this time Bishops were more like Block, Ward or Home teachers. At the time there were Presidents of Wards who were like our bishops are today.
