   Gabriel Miles, farmer, Covington, was born in March 1813, in Harrison county,
Kentucky. His mother died when he was three years old. He was educated on the
old subscription system, and as he grew to manhood he learned the trade of a
blacksmith in Livingston county, Kentucky, and worked at his trade for a time
after he became a resident of Fountain county. He eventually began farming and
has during his residence cleared up and improved about eighty acres of land. He
now owns a farm of eighty acres, located about two miles east of Covington. Mr.
Miles was married to Miss Ruth Alkire, by whom he has two sons. He is a democrat
in politics, and a man who stands well in the estimation of the community in
which he lives.
