Milton Cornwell

C0RNWELL, Milton, soldier, born in Noblesville, Indiana, 4 December, 1825; died in Washington, District of Columbia, 20 November, 1882. He was the first child of American parentage born in Noblesville. After graduation at the United States military academy in 1849, he joined the army and served almost continuously until he was placed on the retired list in 1871. This period covered the civil war, in which he became colonel of the 42d New York volunteers. He was severely wounded, and held a prisoner for nearly a year. After his retirement with the rank of brevet colonel in the regular army for gallant services, he was deputy governor of the soldier's home in Washington, and, with the exception of a year's interval, held the office until his death.
