General Notes: Husband - Samuel Weston Miles


His early years were spent in his native county, and there he received a common school education. Until he was nineteen years of age he remained on the home farm. Then he became an apprentice in the plasterer's trade, which he followed with Mr. Miller, his brother-in-law, after serving his apprenticeship. In the summers he followed this trade, and in the winters he worked in the woods, in Clarion and Elk counties, Pennsylvania. In 1868 he moved into Elk County and settled at Ridgway. There were few residences in Ridgway on which he has not worked. In 1909 he retired, however, from active business. He was a Democrat. For six years he was a member of the Ridgway council; for three years he was supervisor of Spring Creek township; for six years he was a school director. He and his family were Methodists.
