Milon 1st married Mary Alice Dewey on Mar. 25, 1873 in Hanover, New Hampshire, and 2nd married Lavonne Emma Petty on Nov. 7, 1882 in Henry County, Illinois.
Milan Arelle Chesley spent more than fifty years of his life in the newspaper business. At the age of 16 he entered the office of the Vermont Union at Lyndon, VT. The article in the Chetopa Clipper at his death spoke very highly of him, extolling his efforts to work beyond his physical limits and hiding his health problems from family, friends, and co-workers until his retirement in July 1917. He is described as "one of nature's nobelman - such a character as is seldom met with on this mortal sphere - a man whose one idea was to treat everyone with justice so far as their faults were concerned, ever cheerfull, big hearted, open handed". Funeral services were held at his home late in the afternoon of the day he died. In spite of the short notice the house and yard was crowded with friends from far and near. The remains, accompanied by son M.D. Chesley, were taken to his old home in Kewanee, Illinois for interment.
