John George Milns, (1854-20/4/1874). "fine, strong, manly"

DEATH.

On the 20th instant, at Cromwell, John George, eldest son of Mr J. C. S. Milns, of Alford, Lincolnshire, England; age, 20 years.  -Cromwell Argus, 21/4/1874.


WE regret having to record one or two fresh cases of fever since our last; but it may safely be said, we think, that the epidemic is on the decline. It will be noticed that the present week was ushered in with another fatal case, that of John G. Milns. The deceased was a fine, strong, manly young fellow, just twenty years of age. He was a nephew of Mr Hallenstein, Wakatip, in whose store here in Cromwell he was employed. He was well known, and not better known than liked and respected, throughout the whole district, and his death will be universally regretted. — Cromwell Argus.  -Lake County Press, 24/4/1874.
