A Sackville despatch to the St. John 'Sun' announces the death of Christopher MILNER, one of the best known lawyers in the Province. He was born in England in 1813. His father, Rev. Christopher MILNER, a Yorkshire man by birth, came to Nova Scotia as missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, after having served some years as an Episcopal minister in England. He was for a time a teacher in the Collegiate School at Windsor, but in 1820 was appointed to the mission at Sackville which comprised all southeastern New Brunswick and a considerable part of Nova Scotia. From 1836 to 1859, Rev. Milner was rector of Westfield. He lived to the advanced age of 91 and died at the residence of his son at Sackville. Christopher Milner was educated at Sackville and Windsor and was admitted an attorney in 1836. He commenced practice in Westmorland and spent most of his professional life at Sackville. Mr. Milner married a daughter of the late John MORSE of Amherst, who survives him. His son, William C. MILNER, the founder and former editor of the 'Chignecto Post' is now collector of customs at Sackville and manager of Joggins Railway. One daughter married H.G.C. KETCHUM, C.E., Chignecto Marine railway; another married Mr. STOPFORD, an English farmer who for some years resided on a farm a short distance below Fredericton and one daughter is unmarried.
