Milo Cornelius Bushnell (May 2, 1824 – December 11, 1897) was an American farmer, Republican politician, and Wisconsin pioneer.
He was among the earliest American settlers at Omro, Wisconsin, and served as chairman of the Winnebago County board of supervisors during 1872 and 1873.
After selling his second farm, he bought a 3-acre property in the village of Omro, where he raised apples and cultivated a plant nursery.
[2] During his first term in the Assembly, he simultaneously held the offices of state representative, federal revenue assessor, and town chairman.
After winning his second term in the Assembly, he resigned as federal revenue assessor, but was also elected to the local school board.
He served 27 years on the school board, resigning in the mid-1890s, when he largely retired from public life.
His widowed sister Cornelia came to live with him in the late 1840s, to take care of his housekeeping, and ultimately recommended he get married.
