General Notes: Husband - Obediah F. Miles
He was reared on the home farm in Porter township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the schools of the neighborhood. At the age of seventeen he began learning the carpenter's trade, became a skilled and thorough workman, and later successfully engaged in contracting and building in Clarion, Jefferson and Elk counties.
On August 28, 1861, Mr. Miles enlisted in Company C. 105th P. V. I., under Capt. C. A. Craig and Col. McKnight, and with his command took part in the siege of Yorktown. For some time he was stationed at Alexandria, Virginia, near Washington. He was taken ill with measles, later contracted typhoid fever, which settled on his lungs, and rendered him unfit for active service. On a surgeon's certificate of disability, he was then honorably discharged and returned to his home in Clarion County.
In his political affiliations Mr. Miles agreed with the doctrines and platforms of the Republican party. He belonged to Captain Case Post No. 239, G. A. R., and was a member of the Evangelical Church.
