MILES, Stephen 1841 - 1922

Stephen Miles - b: Aug 18 1841 - d: Apr 29 1922 - Stephen Miles was found dead 
in bed Sunday morning, at his home in Lewis Station. He was born August 19, 
1841, in Adams county, Ill., and came to Missouri 60 years ago. He was 80 years, 
8 months and 11 days old. He was married to Nannie A. Paxton, Dec. 24th, 1868. 
Eight children were born to this union, two dying in early life, and one, Mrs. 
Nannie Gossett, died at the age of 25. The living children are: Mrs. E. E. Johnson, 
Tarkio, Mont.; S. C. Miles, Ridgeway, Colo.; Mrs. J. T. Pearson, Ft. Smith, Ark.; O. M. 
Miles, Cliquot, M., and Mrs. W. H. Albright, Sheridan Lake Colo. He was converted in 
the First Methodist church over 20 years ago and for a number of years he held 
family prayer. His wife preceded him to a better home in heaven 2 years ago. 
Since her death, his granddaughter, Mrs. Della Chisler, had taken care of him and 
made his life as happy as it is possible for any one to be who has lost a good 
companion. He has often remarked that "Della and Fred are so good to me and 
make life so pleasant for me." He lived an active life up to the time of his death. 
He made garden and mowed his lawn Saturday, and passed away without any signs 
of suffering that night, as peacefully as going to sleep. The funeral services were 
conducted at Drake's Chapel, at 2 p.m. Tuesday, by Rev. E. T. Raney. A large crowd 
of sympathizing friends were present to pay their last respects to the departed. 
Burial was in the Drake's Chapel cemetery.
