1844, near London, Ont.  His parents, Stephen 

and Ann (Evans) Giles removed when he was four years old to St. Clair, Mich.  
When he was 12 years of age Mr. Giles left 

home to make his own way in the world.  He found ready employment as a saw-
mill hand and was a sailor on the lakes 

several seasons.  In 1871 he came to Hersey and engaged in driving logs on the 
river through one season, and 

subsequently engaged in his present occupation on a limited scale.  He has 
five horses, and is the only representative 

of his line of business at Hersey.  He owns his barn and fixtures ans three 
lots therewith; also his residence and two 

lots connected with it.

He was married in Lexington, Sanilca Co., Mich., July 3, 1870, to Hannah 
Scollay.  She was born in Lexington, Oct. 22, 

1855, and is the daughter of Abel and Abbie Scollay.  Three children have been 
born to Mr. and Mrs. Giles - Harry A., 

Jan. 7, 1872; Charles, Sept. 27, 1876; and Lewis, June 16, 1878.
