A new man in the House this winter is the Hon. James Cutler Milliman of Harrison county. It has been expected in the past that Harrison county would remain in the Democratic line, but in the last election the Republicans carried the day. Mr. Milliman made a good leader, and his fight was so strong that the opposition had to give way. He was born in Saratoga county. New York, January 28, 1847. As a boy he attended the schools near his home. Before he had time to enter upon any profession or life occupation he entered the army to help put down the rebellion. For the greater part of the war he served in company E, 46th New York volunteer infantry, holding the place of private all the time. He came west after the close of the war and for two years was a student at the Iowa State University. Soon after this he moved to Harrison county. In 1869 he was elected county recorder. In this office he remained for eight years, serving acceptably. Since then he has been in the abstract and real estate business at Logan, the firm being Stern & Milliman. For four years he was one of the members of the board of trustees of the State Normal school at Cedar Falls, elected to the place by the legislature. Mr. Milliman has been a member of the Odd Fellows for twenty-two years, and has moved in Grand Army of the Republic circles for twelve years. He is a Presbyterian.
