General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Miles


He was reared in Pittsburgh, PA. He was educated in the Western University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he gradu­ated June 28, 1870. Leaving college, he de­sired to obtain the benefit of a thorough and practical business training before engaging in any commercial pursuit for himself. With this end in view he entered the large and widely known wholesale and retail grocery house of Arbuckle Brothers of Pittsburgh. He remained with them for three years, during which period he familiarized himself with every minor detail of their vast business enterprise as well as studying the general principles upon which it was founded and the methods by which its great volume of daily transactions was conducted. Specially qualified for business life by his three year's services with Arbuckle Brothers, he re­moved in 1873 to Scottdale and became book­keeper and assistant manager of “Charlotte Furnace Company.” limited. After ten years of service in this position he was made general manager. Beginning in 1874 Mr. Miles served as secretary and treasurer of the “Greenlick narrow gauge railroad,” which con­nected with the Mount Pleasant branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. From July, 1888, to July, 1889, he was treasurer of the Scottdale Water Works Company.
