General Notes: Husband - William Kile

---

He was educated in the common schools and West-minster College, at New Wilmington, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. His early life was spent on a farm and when starting out for himself Mr. Kile engaged in farming. In 1862 he enlisted in Company D, One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served in the defense of his country for nine months. On his return from the war he resumed farming. In 1879 he formed a partnership with J. C. Logan in the general hardware business in Mercer, PA. In 1881 he was called on by the Republicans to serve as sheriff of Mercer County, to which he responded, and filled the position with credit. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention, held at Chicago in 1888, which nominated Gen. Benjamin Harrison for President of the United States. He and his wife were members of the Second United Presby-terian Church of Mercer. [HMC 1888, 673]
