The Miltonian, Milton, PA, June 24, 1892

Death of J. A. Milliken, Esq.
J. Anderson Milliken, Esq., died at Wellington, Sumner Co. Kansas, May 29, 1892, from injuries received in the great cyclone, which swept through that place the day before, and without a moments warning destroyed his home and all its contents, together with hundreds of others that lay in its path of devastation.

The deceased was formerly a resident of Academia, Juniata county, and served one term as District Attorney of this county. He went to Wellington about twenty years ago to practice law, but after a few years he gave up his profession on accounty of ill health, having lost the entire use of his right arm, and partially of his left also. He then purchased a farm in the suburbs of the town. Having a taste for rural life, he moved thither and managed the farming, when his health would permit until so suddenly and unexpectedly called home by the all wise Heavenly Father, whom he so faithfully trusted in his many severe and trying attacks of rheumatic suffering.

He was aged about 54 years and leaves a wife and two daughters, who were seriously injured in the same tornado, one daughter being blown a quarter of a mile from home among the flying debris, and yet fortunate enough to escape with a broken wrist, while her sister was severely cut on the head and face.
-Port Royal Times.

Deceased was a brother to Mrs. Joseph Cadwell of this place, and graduated from college in the same class and was a room mate of the lamented C. Bruce Watson, of Milton.
