The chapter on Westline Township in The History of Redwood County, Minnesota, published 1916 names Milroy. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.

"Westline township is located in the northwest part of Redwood county bordering on the west side, and embraces Congressional township 111-39. It is bounded on the north by Underwood, on the east by Granite Rock, on the south by Gales townships, and on the west by Lyon county. The surface is generally rolling, but marshy in some places. The Evan-Marshall division of the Chicago and Northwestern passes through it in a northwest direction in the central part. Its only village is Milroy. The trading centers are Milroy, Lucan and Redwood Falls, in Redwood county, and Marshall in Lyon county. There are five school houses. The predominating nationality is German, Scandinavian and American.
