MILTON JUMP.  Upon the hill overlooking the post office and store of New
Eagle Mills and Eagle Valley, where thousands of acres of the finest
land in the county spread out like a fairy scene before the eyes, lives 
Milton Jump, or "Uncle Milt" as he is familiarly called.  He has 
occupied the house in which he lives for more than thirty-three years, 
and was born and raised in a stone's throw of the old place.  He is 
loved by all and without an enemy in the world.  Uncle Milt was born on 
the 2d day of April 1825.  His paternal grandfather came from Virginia 
and his maternal grandfather from Maryland, and both settled in Eagle 
Valley, one on one side of the creek and the other on the opposite side.
Here it was that the Jump family of Grant County became part and parcel 
of it.  The progeny has been numerous, and now there are more voters in 
this family than any other in the county, save, perhaps, the Webster 
family.  Uncle Milt was reared on a farm and received a good common 
school education as could be obtained in the schools of those days.  He
was married in 1848 to Miss Emily Jameson.  Eight children were born to 
this union, four boys and four girls, two boys and two girls of whom are
yet living.  He is a Democrat, has always been a Democrat and will never
be anything else than a Democrat.  He has been a power in the elections 
at Downingsville, and has perhaps wielded as much influence in his 
precinct as any man in the county during this time.  For fifty-five 
years he has voted that ticket and no other, has always voted at the 
Downingsville precinct, and more than half the time has cast the first 
vote polled, and has never missed an election.  He has served the 
district for twelve years as Magistrate, and was a very efficient 
officer.  While the snows of seventy-six winters have whitened his hair 
and withered his cheeks, he is yet a rugged specimen [sic] of humanity 
and bids fair to be a part of Downingsville and Eagle Creek for many 
years to come.  He has been ill for several months, but as we write 
this is much improved.
