   JOSEPH MILNOR farmer, P.O. Langhorne, was born in 
Middletown township, October 18, 1842, and is a son of 
Joseph and Sarah (Winner) Milnor, natives of Bucks county 
and of English descent.  His father was a hatter in early 
life and afterward a farmer.  The Milnor family are of 
English origin, and have usually been farmers.  An uncle on 
the father's side left home during the Mexican war, and was 
never heard of afterward.  It was supposed he enlisted in 
the Mexican war and lost his life there.  Joseph Milnor was 
the third in a family of five children.  He was reared on 
the farm, and has made farming the business of his life and 
has met with success. He is the owner of a well-improved 
farm of seventy acres, in a high state of cultivation.  In 
June, 1866, he married Phebe A., daughter of John and Mary 
(Fenton) Booz.  The Booz family are of English origin and 
were among the early settlers of Bucks county.  They first 
settled near Bristol and have generally followed farming. 
Mr. and Mrs. Milnor have five children:  Harry, Anna, Caleb 
Taylor, Willie and Frank. Mrs. Milnor and children attend 
the Methodist Episcopal church.  He is a republican and an 
Odd Fellow.  He served his country in the late war in 
Battery G., Young's Independent light artillery.
