II, 1902, pp. 407-408: Wesley Milner, of Mowrystown, prominent in the industrial affairs of the county, is a descendant of one of the pioneer Quaker families of Highland county. His grandfather, Beverly Milner, a native of Halifax county, Virginia, was married in that state to Anna Hendricks, and coming to the Ohio wilderness with his wife, and children, some of them grown and married, in 1807, contributed to the growth of the settlement of the Friends on Hardin's Creek, in Fairfield township, at what was known as Quaker bottoms. He was an industrious and successful farmer and became the owner of a considerable tract of land, which descended to his children. There were ten of these: Dudley, Beverly, Moses, Amos, Joseph, John, Luke, Oliver, Ruth (Burgess), and Sallie (Anderson). John, who married Susan Kinzer, was a well-known miller for many years. Moses was married in Virginia, and left several sons who were prominent citizens. Joseph Milner, who was bom in Virginia, married Elizabeth Reams, a native of North Carolina, who came to Highland county with her parents early in the settlement, and they began married life on a farm of 107 acres in Fairfield township, to which 130 acres were subsequently added. Eleven children were born to them: Madison and Gary, deceased; John, living in Iowa; Wesley, the subject of this sltetch; Peter, of Fairfield township; Paul, of Dodson township; Mary Ann, of Fairfield; Sarah and Mahala, deceased, and Emily, who lives in Iowa. Wesley Milner was born in Fairfield township December 25, 1837, and lived at home in his years of early manhood, giving his attention to mechanical pursuits, operating a threshing machine and an engine in a saw mill, until the outbreak of the war of the rebellion. In 1861 he enlisted in Company H of the Twenty-seventh regiment Ohio volunteer infantry, and was mustered in at Camp Chase, August 13th. His first service was in Missouri, where he had some adventurous experiences. They were sent first to St. Louis, and drilled, and then to Lexington, Mo., and Kansas City. Being taken sick, he was in hospital about three months, and when he attempted to rejoin his regiment he was captured by the enemy, but permitted to go on parole. Eventually reaching St. Louis, and rejoining his regiment at Sedalia, he was mustered out and sent home. In January, 1862, he joined the band of the Sixty-first regiment, and after spending the winter with them at Lancaster, was mustered out at Columbus. After reaching home he was ordered out under his first enlistment, but the mistake was soon rectified, and he returned home. In 1863 he again went to the front as a member of Ewing's brigade band, and in that capacity was at the seige of Vicksburg, Miss. This was the close of his service, and being again mustered out, he came home and remained. In 1871 he was married to Columbia Hunter, and they began their married life at Jasper, Fayette county, Ohio. Mr. Milner continued to be busied in machine and milling work, and after three years at Jasper returned to the old home place, and a few years later went to Lexington and built and operated a grist mill there. He was in the same business at New Vienna a year, and twenty years at Winkle, Hamer township, where he managed a grist mill, saw and planing mill. He is now doing a successful business at Mowrystown, as a member of the firm of Milner & Sauner, in the manufacture of tile and brick. He is the owner of a handsome home and considerable town property, and is a valuable citizen. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic post at Mowrystown, is affiliated with the Society of Friends, and in politics is a Republican.
