JOE A. LOGAN. We are pleased to give a short sketch of the popular and talented

editor of the Miltonian. This is one of the best weekly papers of the

Seventeenth Congressional District; it was established in 1816 as a strong Whig

paper by Gen. Henry Frick. The first number was issued September 21, 1816, and

the paper has continued since under the same name. Since Fremont's campaign it

has advocated the principles of the Republican party and has been owned and

published by the following persons: Gen. Henry Frick; Robert Frick; Robbins &

Brown; L. H. Funk; Morton & Mervine, with whom F. Bound was later associated; P.

L. Hackenberg; L. B. Housel; and in 1880 Strine fr Logan. Our subject succeeded

his partner in 1882. The paper has been enlarged and its circulation has been

increased to 1,200. It is a fact worthy of special mention that the office and

printing establishment has always been located within half a square of the

present location.



  Joe A. Logan, our subject, was born in Milton, Pa., January 12, 1846, and is a

son of Samuel and Rose (Sties) Logan. The former was born in Philadelphia and

there married his wife, who was a native of Germany. They settled in

Wilkesbarre, but in 1840 removed to Milton.



  Our subject attended Milton Academy until he was fifteen years of age, when he

enlisted in Company E, 131st Reg., Pa. Vol. Inf., and later in Company E, 51st

Reg., Pa. Vol. Inf., and served until the close of the war. He is a past

commander of Henry Wilson Post, G. A. R.; and is a member of Milton Lodge, F. &

A. M. He is a stockholder in the Milton Trust Company, the Milton Safe Deposit

Company and the Milton Driving Park & Fair Association. He has taken such an

active interest in the general improvement of his native town that he has gained

much prominence in the community. Since 1880 he has devoted most of his time to

his paper and his fellow-citizens show their appreciation of his efforts by

subscribing liberally. The year 1882 marked an interesting event in his history,

i. e., the celebration of his marriage with Lulu Tilden, a daughter of Enos and

Isabella Tilden, who were natives of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania,

respectively. Our subject and wife are the happy parents of three children:

Bolton, Inez, and Joe A., Jr. Mr. Logan was postmaster under President Arthur

and has served as a member of the town council. He has ever been a stanch

supporter of the Republican party.
