MILO CAIN
Milo Cain, who spent his last years in honorable retirement at Long Beach, was
born in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, April 26, 1855, a son of Joseph and Nancy
Cain. When he was still but a boy his
parents established their home in Kokomo, Indiana, where he attended
school. During many years of his active
business career he was associated with his father, a successful tanner. Eventually he left the Hoosier state for
California and in the fall of 1921 took up his abode in Long Beach, where he
continued to reside throughout the remainder of his life. His death occurred January 31, 1932, when he
had attained the age of seventy-six years.
He gave his political support to the Republican Party and fraternally
was identified with the Knights of Pythias, while his religious faith was indicated
by his membership in the First Congregational Church of Kokomo, Indiana, and
the First Congregational Church of Long Beach, in the work of both of which he
took an active and helpful part. Mr.
Cain attracted to himself many warm personal friends, for he was always genial
and straightforward and never deviated from his standards as a conscientious
Christian gentleman.
On the 16th of August,
1882, in Kokomo, Indiana, Mr. Cain was united in marriage to Miss Etta Farley,
daughter of Davis S. and Eliza L. Farley, of Ohio. They had one son, William Edward, who became
a newspaper and advertising man of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and who passed away
in 1916. Mrs. Cain, who survives her
husband, resides in the family home at 5257 East Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach,
where she has a circle of friends almost coextensive with the circle of her
acquaintance.
