The Dunn County News
Saturday, July 16, 1881

         MILTON A COLEMAN was born at Bloomington, Ill.,
       October 19, 1856. He came with his parents to
       Wisconsin in 1857, and settled at Maxville, Buf-
       falo county, where the family lived for many
       years. About six years ago he moved to Menomonie
       with his widowed mother, and has since made his
       home here. He served as Undersheriff during Sher-
       iff GEORGE'S administration, and was re-appointed
       by Sheriff SEVERSON at the beginning of his term
       last January. No county every had a more faithful,
       vigilant, efficient and conscientious officer than
       MILTON COLEMAN. He was a man of exemplary character,
       sterling integrity and won the friendship and es-
       teem of all by his quiet and unobtrusive manners,
       genial ways, and strict devotion to duty. His un-
       timely death, which has cast a shadow over the
       hearts of all, falls with almost crushing weight
       upon his widowed mother and his affianced, Miss
       ROSA U. NETT, an estimable young lady of this
       village, and an accomplished teacher in our pub-
       lic schools. Rich in all those sterling qualities
       of mind and heart that make a useful, upright man,
       MILTON COLEMAN had a bright and promising future,
       and it seems doubly sad that he should fall a
       sacrifice to duty in the morning of life.
       
       Transcriber's Note:
       MILTON A. COLEMAN, shot and killed in the line of
       duty on July 10, 1881.
