April 26th

For today we head for the U.S. again - to Barre in Vermont where on this day in 1990 your 2nd cousin once removed, Henry Milne, died.

The Milne name married into the Riddel family who after marrying into the Christie family left Aberdeenshire to work in the granite industry in Vermont.

Henry was born in Barre and seems to have lived most of his life in Vermont.  It would appear that he was a political figure like other Milnes and was a lawyer.  I don't have much info on him.  I'm quite sure I could find out more detail - but I'm finding it a bit time consuming making sure I've got the right Milne - so will just leave it at this for now or I'll never get caught up on this blog!!

Henry was married to Catharine Fraher with whom he had four children.  He died in Manchester, New Hampshire.  He was 81.
