The youngest of Abner and Rebecca Finnell's children, Milton was nine years old when his father was shot dead by Northern partisans on 31 October 1864. According to family legend, Milton witnessed this event.

He was likely named after neighbor and relative Milton Leffrige Hurt, a man whose "name has ever stood above reproach, and will be transmitted to his children without a mar or tarnish," according to an early county history.

At the age of 23, Milt Finnell married Elvira Agness Fuqua and farmed in Keytesville township for the next two decades. They raised six children: Guy, Allen, Mary, Frank, Archa, and Rebecca.

Around the turn of the century, Milt and his family moved to Kansas City. There he worked as a wagon master and shipper at a local cracker factory. After his wife died, Milt lived with his son Allen and his family in Olathe. At the time of his death, 90-year old Milt was living at 3718 Flora in Kansas City.
