HENRY MILTON DIES
AT LITTLE CEDAR
The county has lost one of its finest men in the death of Henry H. Milton, 75, who passed away at his home in LIttle Cedar Wednesday afternoon. He had been in failing health for a long time and the end was not unexpected.
Mr. Milton was born on October 10, 1867, at Fox Lake, Wisconsin. He came to Little Cedar in 1902, settling on a farm, and had since lived in that community.
His marriage to Agnes Mitchell took place on February 28, 1900. She and their children survive him. The latter are: Mrs. Louis Ethon, and William Milton of Stacyville; Lloyd and Leslie of Little Cedar and Morris, who is in the armed forces and is stationed at Seattle.
It would be impossible to tell of all the public service Mr. Milton did during his life time. He helped in every civic project that benefitted his community; he served on the school board of his district for many years, was an officer in the co-operative creamery and at the time of his death was a member of the board of directors for the Little Cedar Co-Operative elevator company.
He was a farmer for the greater part of his life and was an excellent one.
Four years ago he retired from active life and he and his wife moved to the town of Little Cedar.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
