Milton was the son of Jonathan Bozarth, Sr. and Lucy Alexander. Milton married (1) to Julia Ann Summers on 11 November 1841 in Randolph County, Missouri. They were the parents of Lucy Ann, Alford Logan, Sarah Elizabeth, Madora, and Mary Bozarth. Julia Bozarth died after giving birth to Mary, probably late 1853 or early 1854. Milton married (2) Lucy J. Spivy on 5 September 1854 in Adair Co., MO. They were the parents of: Casius, Elnora Jane, and Saphronia Bozarth.In his second wife's obituary it stated that he died January 6, 1864. According to stories passed down through my family, he shot a deer and when he went to check the deer it raised up it's head and gored Milton in the stomach with it's antlers. The ground was frozen and he could not be buried in the cemetery, so he was put into the meat storage building on his farm. When there was an early thaw they had to quickly bury him in the only spot that had thawed enough to dig a grave, his wife's flower bed on the south side of the house.
