1 NOTE BIO:It is assummed by most of those researching this family that Samuel 
2 CONT was born in Wales. Research in 1930's suggested that he was the grand-
2 CONT son of Richard who arrived in Pa. in late 1600's but I believe that 
2 CONT this Samuel also born 1739 married Catherine Wister and is not the
2 CONT  same one.
2 CONT "Genealogies Of Ky. Families" Vol.3 and "The Hoosier Connection" were
2 CONT my origional sources but they both have many errors. It is interesting
2 CONT that Helen Miles Bradshaw in "Hoosier Connection" called him Enos 
2 CONT Samuel Miles. This is the only place that I have seen this.Samuel is 
2 CONT listed as living in Lancaster,Pa. and then to Virginia and
2 CONT  subsequently to Woodford Co.,Ky. Soon he and part of his family moved
2 CONT to Shelby Co. were they purchased land on Six Mile creek.He and his
2 CONT descendants were millers as attested to in his will from the Shelby
2 CONT Book B 1804-1811 Will Book 2 p.438. Recorded 4-15-1811 in which he
2 CONT leaves his mill to Benjamin who is "impotent". The will mentions wife
2 CONT Sarah and sons Evan and Samuel.
2 CONT   In "The Hoosier Connection" Ms. Bradshaw asserts that "Samuel was 
2 CONT born in Wales in 1740. He came to this country and settled in 
2 CONT Baltimore. He was a machinist". The D.A.R.  Patriotic Index Centennial
2 CONT Edition Part II page 2021 lists "Miles,Samuel b. WL(Wales) d.a. 
2 CONT 4-15-1811 m. Sarah James Sol. CL( Continental Line) Va.(Virginia)."
2 CONT "The Hoosier Connection " states that Samuel" was put in charge of the
2 CONT manufacture of small arms." 
2 CONT In her book Ms. Bradshaw states "The family left Baltimore after the
2 CONT Revolution for Lancaster , Penn.. The Miles family all started west 
2 CONT stopping in Lynchburg, Virginia and then on to Versailles,Woodford Co.
2 CONT Ky. After sojourning here for a few years they went on to Indiana."
2 CONT According to her they moved over discust with "the institution of
2 CONT slavery."
2 CONT   With the exception of Lois Myer most of the researchers feel that
2 CONT Samuel Miles was born in Wales, but then research tends to be 
2 CONT incestuous and like most of history what is stated as fact but not
2 CONT proven frequently becomes fact. Sheila Johnson of Grand Junction ,Col.
2 CONT is actively researching the Miles family and has been most helpful in
2 CONT offering a different point of view. The Miles family is also found in
2 CONT South Carolina as well as Pennsylvania and Virginia in the early 
2 CONT years of this nation. Many Mileses became Baptists. In the early years
2 CONT the Baptists and Quakers were closely related and certainly many 
2 CONT Quakers became Baptists.In Samuel R. Miles research there is a tract 
2 CONT entitled "Early Welsh History" which states that"The Quakers and
2 CONT Baptists had a great many things in common and we find a great many
2 CONT Quakers becoming Baptists...The first meeting house of the First  
2 CONT Baptist Church of Philadelphia was built by Keithian Quakers in 1692."
2 CONT Richard Miles the supposed progenitor of our Samuel Miles is said to 
2 CONT be a Keithian Quaker and his father James became a Baptist.
2 CONT  There was also a strong Quaker presence in South Carolina and the 
2 CONT James family were leaders in the Quaker movement in South Carolina.
2 CONT  Early on in the 1600's the first Miles
2 CONT family in America were the Quaker brothers Richard,Samuel, and 
2 CONT Griffith sons of James who emigrated from Wales to Pennsylvania in
2 CONT 1683. Ms. Myers feels that Samuel was the grandson of Richard. Richard
2 CONT did have a grandson Samuel born 1740. He was a brigadier general who
2 CONT married Catherine Wister and is not the father of our Isaac.
2 CONT   The fact that Evan C. Miles(born 1833) was active in the Episcopal-
2 CONT ian church and that "The History of Dearborn Co...." states that
2 CONT Isaac(Jr.) converted to the Baptist faith brings into question our
2 CONT descendency from Quakers. However, Ms. Johnson has related to me that
2 CONT " I suspect that the Miles researchers have had a mind set that Samuel
2 CONT came from PA. and may have ignored the possibility that he was born
2 CONT elsewhere...maybe one of the Carolinas. On page 52-54 of "Americans
2 CONT from Wales" there is a little information about the southern Welsh
2 CONT colonies. I was paticularly interested in the comment about the anti-
2 CONT slavery sentiments of the early Miles family and this was echoed in
2 CONT "Forks of Elkhorn Church" by Ermina Jett Darnell on p. 39.'In the late
2 CONT [1830's] the abolitionists increased their activities, and many slaves
2 CONT were running away. Henry Clay says that up to this time there had been
2 CONT 'progressive melioration' in the treatment of slaves, but they were
2 CONT becoming so rebellious that their privileges had to be curtailed. One
2 CONT minister told of being constrained to use firearms to bring one to
2 CONT obediance, and in this he was upheld by all the congregation except
2 CONT Isaac Miles.' This Isaac, of course, is your ancestor. My thought is
2 CONT that perhaps Samuel Miles may have removed from the Carolinas at least
2 CONT in part because of the slavery issue. I also took note that a leader  
2 CONT in the So. Carolina colony was James James." 
2 CONT   Henry Clay by the way was an active member of The Church of 
2 CONT the Assumption- the Episcopal church in Frankfort, Ky. were Evan C. 
2 CONT Miles had his first two children baptised and were Rev. John Norton, 
2 CONT who married Evan both times, was pastor.
2 CONT   In a brief review of the International Genealogy Index of the LDS
2 CONT a Samuel Miles was christened in Tetbury, Gloucester, England on Dec.
2 CONT 27, 1740. Also, an Evan Miles married Mary Williams on Feb. 9, 1739 
2 CONT in Llandaff, Glamorgan, Wales. These are other potential sources for 
2 CONT Samuel Miles.
2 CONT   According to research by E.E. Miles dated 4/4/1936 in the LDS files
2 CONT " In 1786 Samuel Miles settled 340 acres of land in Franklin County,  
2 CONT Virginia. In 1795 Samuel Miles is listed as having only 240 acres
2 CONT which he continued to hold until 1798. From 1799 on the name of Miles 
2 CONT does not appear again in the Franklin Co., Virginia tax books.
2 CONT   The will of Samuel Miles is recorded in Will Book #2, page 438, on 
2 CONT file in the courthouse of Shelbyville, Shelby Co., Ky. It was dated 
2 CONT March 11, 1811 and probated April 15,1811. It names his wife Sarah and
2 CONT sons Evan and Samuel as Executors.Also says his son Benjamin is 
2 CONT "impotent" and is to be supported. The witnesses were James Christie 
2 CONT ,Sr., James Christie, Jr. and Israel Christie."
2 CONT   I find that the Christies,Lewis,and Bohannan families are frequently
2 CONT listed in legal documents and were intermarried to the Miles family.
2 CONT By following these families we may get to the roots of Samuel Miles.

1 NOTE BIO:Kentucky was still an unsettled land in the 1790's. In Shelby County 
2 CONT on March 31,1788 Delaware Indians and massacred most of the Bland 
2 CONT Ballard, Sr. family. In 1794 the Battle of Fallen Timbers was fough
2 CONT with General Mad Anthony Wayne in command defeating Tecumpseh and the
2 CONT British. Four years later in 1795 peace was made with the British. But
2 CONT the Indian Wars would continue in Kentucky and on it's borders until
2 CONT the Blackhawk Wars ended in 1838. 
2 CONT   Isaac was a miller. He came to Kentucky in the early 1790's . 
2 CONT There was an Isaac on the tax rolls of Woodford Co. as early as 1792.
2 CONT A will in Jefferson Co.,Indiana dated 3-21-1852 with probate 5-25-1854
2 CONT lists "my sons Samuel,Jesse,John, and Isaac." Also "my daughter Rachel
2 CONT Sample and granddaughter Elizabeth Sample".This information is from  
2 CONT the Indiana Will Books Project Book A2 p.23.
2 CONT Isaac Miles entered the Woodford Co. tax list on 5-22-1790. A John 
2 CONT Miles was on the list as of 4-26-1790. This was 2 years before
2 CONT Kentucky became a state.The Kentucky census of 1800 lists an Enos and
2 CONT Isaac Miles in Woodford Co.The 1810 census lists Isaac of Woodford Co.
2 CONT as having Males- 2 under 10 y.o.;two 10-16y.o.; One 15-25 y.o. and one
2 CONT 45 and up. Females-2 under 10;one 15-25;one 26-45.
2 CONT   According to "A History of Woodford County" by Railey written in 
2 CONT 1895 "The Miles family descended from a native of Wales. When they 
2 CONT came to America they first settled in Maryland, then migrated to 
2 CONT Virginia, finally decided to cast their lot with friends and neighbors
2 CONT who had determined to face all of the dangers that lurked in the
2 CONT pathway that Boone and other pioneers had marked out at an earlier
2 CONT date, so they defied the "Red Men" and made Boone's path plainer for
2 CONT those who came later to Kentucky.
2 CONT Isaac Miles, who was born in Virginia, was the head of the clan by
2 CONT that name who came some time preceding the year 1800. They found the 
2 CONT journey long and tedious, but the caravan lost no time en route,
2 CONT except as necessity required, and in due course of time landed in 
2 CONT Woodford County. His wife, Mary Curtis, to whom he was married in 
2 CONT Virginia, accompanied her husband and was as courageous and self-
2 CONT sacrificing as the splendid women who preceded her. Before leaving 
2 CONT Virginia, Isaac Miles had operated a gristmill, and when they located 
2 CONT at Millville in the county-which seemed to them a dense wilderness-
2 CONT he immediately began the construction of a residence, after which he
2 CONT erected one of the two gristmills at Millville, his being one of the
2 CONT first built in the county, which he located on the opposite side of 
2 CONT Glenn's Creek from his residence,both the mill and residence were
2 CONT standing but a few short years ago. ( The other mill was built by 
2 CONT Randolph R. Darnell.)"
2 CONT According to early Woodford Co. courthouse records per a book by Muns
2 CONT in the Woodford Co. library " In 1819 Isaac Miles and Roderick Perry
2 CONT each petitioned the Court for permission to build a 'water grist mill'
2 CONT on Glenn's Creek, the Miles mill to have a dam extending three-and-a 
2 CONT -half feet above the surface of the water..."
2 CONT The deed books of Woodford County, Ky. include several land deals by
2 CONT Enos and Isaac Miles.In 1789 John Miles of Russell Co. Va. deeds 400 
2 CONT acres to Margaret Miles in Fayette Co.,Va.(this included Woodford Co).
2 CONT He had gotten 1200 acres in 1783. On 6-30-1793 Margaret Miles sells
2 CONT land between Ky. River and Glenn's Creek. On 12-6-1794 Isaac Miles 
2 CONT buys 100 acres from James Thiobald. Isaac sells land to John Jones on
2 CONT 7-22-1796 and on 9-4-1797 is granted power of attorney for John Jones.
2 CONT Conrad Pike sells land "next to Enos Miles" on 6-4-1798. Isaac had 
2 CONT bought land from Randolph Perry of Shelby Co. on 9-4-1797.Enos Miles
2 CONT bought land in the Glenn's Creek area on 11-27-1805 from Samuel Tull.
2 CONT  In Jefferson County, Indiana on 7-19-1814 George and Hannah Ash sell
2 CONT 200 acres of land below the mouth of the Kentucky River to Isaac Miles
2 CONT of Woodford County,Ky.It is witnessed by Andrew Sample.
2 CONT   In the 1820's the Isaac Miles family began moving to Indiana. Ms.
2 CONT Bradshaw claims in her book that this was in protest of"the evil
2 CONT institution of slavery". On 10-16-1827 Isaac sells to Samuel Miles in
2 CONT Woodford Co.,Ky. The next day 10-17-1827 Isaac Miles,Sr. sells 92 
2 CONT acres on Glenn's Creek to Isaac Miles,Jr. On 10-1-1825 Isaac Miles of 
2 CONT Woodford Co. sold land to William Vaughan of Franklin Co. The land was
2 CONT in Shelby County.40 acres of land on the Perry Spring Branch, in 
2 CONT Woodford Co. was sold by Isaac Miles,Sr. to Samuel Miles on 1-11-1829.
2 CONT The transaction was witnessed by Isaac Miles,Jr.
2 CONT   In Jefferson County,Ind. on 11-2-1826 Isaac Miles of Woodford Co.,Ky
2 CONT sold 160 acres to Andrew Sample of Switzerland Co. Indiana and the
2 CONT sale was witnessed by John Miles.
2 CONT Isaac died in 1854 and was buried on Sample Farm in Switzerland County
2 CONT Indiana. His will was written in 1852,but Lois Myer states that he  
2 CONT died in May of 1854.
2 CONT    Isaac's will is in the Jefferson Co., Indiana will book A2 page 23.
2 CONT " I Isaac Miles of the county of Jefferson, State of Indiana do make 
2 CONT and publish this my last will and testament...Item the first I will 
2 CONT and bequeath to my granddaughter Eliza Sample my bed and bedding, my 
2 CONT trunk and Holy Bible.

2 CONT daughter of Frederick who had immigrated from Prussia but whose father
2 CONT is listed as Italian(the family says he was Sicilian). Lena gave him a
2 CONT daughter Mary Lenora Velten in 1896.Two years later Lena died of acute
2 CONT Bright's Disease after losing a child in childbirth.Bright's disease 
2 CONT is a complication of Streptococcal infections which was a common 
2 CONT cause of "puerperal fever".
2 CONT   In 1900 he married Rose Bush who raised his then 4 year old daughter
2 CONT .John was very active in the Democratic Party as is attested to in the
2 CONT old yellowing obituary of which I have a copy. On January 13, 1906 The
2 CONT Louisville Courier carried the following from which I take excerpts.
2 CONT   " DEATH SUMMONS John N. Velten After Illness of Two Weeks-Appointed
2 CONT Chief Deputy by New County Assessor-Formerly Magistrate and Active In 
2 CONT Politics-PROMINENT YOUNG MAN...(some parts are missing) After an ill-
2 CONT ness of fourteen days...John N. Velten Magistrate of the Fifth
2 CONT district...Jefferson County,died of ... at 6:40 o'clock last evening.
2 CONT His term of office as Magistrate had expired just three days before he
2 CONT became ill, and the announcement of his appointment as Chief Deputy 
2 CONT Assessor under John M. Adams, County Assessor,..had been made. The
2 CONT last meeting of the last Fiscal Court, of which he was a prominent 
2 CONT member,was held on December 30, the day that he first was confined to

2 CONT was a leader in many of the Democratic clubs that have been organized
2 CONT in the last twelve years, and was popular personally.For nearly eight
2 CONT years he was a deputy in the County Clerks office under William P.
2 CONT Johnson. During this period his efficiency was recognized by the fact
2 CONT of his being made Clerk of the Fiscal Court. He was recognized as 
2 CONT being one of the most efficient clerks that ever filled the place.
2 CONT   Over four years ago he announced his candidacy for the Democratic 
2 CONT nomination for Magistrate of the Fifth magisterial district. He won 
2 CONT the nomination easily and was elected. As a Magistrate and a member of
2 CONT the Fiscal Court he stood high and was on some of the most important
2 CONT committees during the administration of James(illegible) Gregory as 
2 CONT County Judge....At different times he acted as Coroner and had 
2 CONT temporarily filled other positions.
2 CONT   Mr. Velten refused to become a candidate to succeed himself as 
2 CONT Magistrate, and it was announced by John Adams that when he was elect-
2 CONT ed ...that Magistrate Velten would be his chief deputy...BORN IN

1 NOTE BIO:Evan Calhoun Miles was born in Jefferson County ,Indiana. His parents
2 CONT Isaac Miles,Jr. and Elizabeth Miles were first cousins.Evan was a 
2 CONT teacher. I am unable to find documentation of what schools he attended
2 CONT but his brothers went to Franklin college in Indiana. Evan was married
2 CONT in 1856 to Charlotte Quinn. Charlotte's family were residing in 
2 CONT Franklin Co. Ky. and she was born in Utica New York. Charlotte died
2 CONT 5-19-1858 of consumption at the residence of Isaac Miles Esquire of
2 CONT Aurora as per an obituary in the Lawrenceburg Register dated 6-4-1858.
2 CONT On 12-25-1859 he married Annie Malinda Burns the daughter of Patrick
2 CONT Burns and Melinda Hughes. Again he was married by the Reverend John
2 CONT Norton of the Episcopalian Church of the Assumption of Frankfort Ky.
2 CONT The church had an orphanage at the time and I speculate that Evan C. 
2 CONT may have taught there.Evan's first two children were baptised at the
2 CONT church. I can find no civil war records of service by Evan C. Miles
2 CONT but he named his first son born 5-22-1861 Jefferson Davis Miles making
2 CONT fairly obvious his sentiments. This is not so easy to understand as 
2 CONT two of his brothers served in the Union Army and the family was 
2 CONT apparently(from several family history sources) strongly anti-slavery.
2 CONT However, at the time of the beginning of the Civil War Evan C. Miles
2 CONT was living in Frankfort. He had several cousins living in Franklin
2 CONT and Woodford County who were prominent businessmen, slave owners, and 
2 CONT one of whom rode and died with Morgan's Raiders.
2 CONT   The 1870 census finds Evan C. Miles in Oldham County, Ky. which is
2 CONT between Franklin County and Jefferson County. An Evin(sic) Miles first
2 CONT appears on the Oldham County tax list in 1871. He is enrolled in the
2 CONT militia. The 1870 census lists him on August 10 on page 10 in the
2 CONT Ballardsville Precinct. At that time he has 5 children-Jefferson,
2 CONT Minnie,Rosie,Samuel and John. No Isaac is listed.
2 CONT   In the 1871 city directory for Louisville Evan C.'s old friend
2 CONT Rev. John Norton is listed as associate director of Christ Church
2 CONT Episcopal in Louisville.The 1872 Caron's City Directory lists Evan C.
2 CONT Miles as a teacher residing at 417 Clay Street.
2 CONT   Between 1870 and 1880 Rosie and John are lost.Isaac Newton Miles
2 CONT appears to have been born in 1870.This would appear to have been in 
2 CONT Oldham County. I was very excited when I discovered the 1880 census
2 CONT for Louisville Ky. It was in the handwriting of Evan C. Miles!
2 CONT He was the ennumerator for census district 151 Jefferson County, Ky.
2 CONT in June of 1880. It was my first genealogical find at the start of
2 CONT my research. My only clues were Aunt Minnie,Uncle Jeff and Uncle
2 CONT "Nambo". My grandfather thought that his father's name was Patty and
2 CONT indeed that was the name that he played baseball under as well as 
2 CONT the name under which he was buried. But, there it was in front of me.
2 CONT Evan C. Miles. Wife Annie M. Children Jefferson D.,Minnie A., Samuel 
2 CONT A. and Isaac N.-age 10 years old- my greatgrandfather in the
2 CONT handwriting of my greatgreatgrandfather. This was the beginning of my
2 CONT visit to a line of unknown ancestors of whom I knew nothing. My living
2 CONT great aunts would tell me nothing except that the family was Episco-
2 CONT palian and had converted to Catholicism after a serious illness in 
2 CONT which nuns who lived "next door" had cared for the family.
2 CONT   Evan C. Miles died 4-9-1909 at the age of 73 years old, according to
2 CONT his death certificate of stomach cancer.He was buried in Eastern
2 CONT Cemetery in Louisville. This now infamous cemetery is located at the
2 CONT end of Broadway next to the beautiful cave hill cemetery.
2 CONT Unfortunately, the cemetery was origionally liscensed to hold 15,000
2 CONT but eventually over 80,000 souls were buried there- many on top of
2 CONT older graves. As of this date we have been unable to locate Evan C.
2 CONT Miles' grave.

1 NOTE BIO:As per "A History of Dearborn and Ohio Co." published 1895-"Isaac
2 CONT Miles died at his residence in Clay Township...Oct. 4,1881.The deceas-
2 CONT ed was born in Woodford Co., Ky. Oct. 26, 1804, and 
2 CONT at the time of his death was 76 years,eleven months,and nine days old.
2 CONT At the age of 22 he mustered with a battalion of Ky. Militia in the 
2 CONT city of Lexington, called out in honor of Gen. LaFayette,then in the 
2 CONT city, on his second visit to the U.S. after the close of the Rev. War.
2 CONT Col. Dudley had a present to make to each soldier of the command, and
2 CONT beginning at the head of the battalion his hand was pesented and 
2 CONT shaken by the entire soldiery.The present he received on the occasion
2 CONT he treasured as one of the richest mementoes of his life. He came to
2 CONT Indiana in 1828, and the same year was married to Elizabeth Miles, in
2 CONT Jefferson Co., near Madison, and followed the occupation of farming
2 CONT about 6 years. At the expiration of that time he moved to Versailles,
2 CONT Ripley Co., where he engaged into Mercantile pursuits. In 1839 he took
2 CONT up his residence in Dillsboro, and reopened the sale of merchandise.
2 CONT The law of this state at that time acted as a bolster to economy and
2 CONT human integrity, and goods were sold on credit to nearly applicant for
2 CONT time. But a strange freak of legislative wisdom struck the State
2 CONT Legislature, and it passed an exemption act. The Legislature cancelled
2 CONT in a single act the majority of the people's obligations. This sudden
2 CONT revolution swept like a besom of destruction the business enterprises
2 CONT of the citizens of the State.He was left in debt and made penniless
2 CONT , but possessing an indomitable will and great muscular strenghth, he
2 CONT collected a four-horse team, and through rain, snow, sleet, ice and
2 CONT mud, by day and night, he went forth until the clouds of adversity
2 CONT gave way to sunshine of meager prosperity. He then began the cancel-
2 CONT lation of his own indebtedness, and in a few years every creditor was
2 CONT honorably payed.Without the advantages of an education he began the
2 CONT study of elementary principles of law, and was admitted to the bar of
2 CONT the Common Pleas Court of Dearborn County, in 1844. He moved to
2 CONT Aurora in 1847, and for many years was engaged in mercantile and hotel
2 CONT pursuits, and occasionally practiced law. In 1865 he moved to his farm
2 CONT , near Dillsboro, where he remained away from the active scenes of
2 CONT life till his death. ... He accepted the Baptist faith and was united
2 CONT to the church and baptized in 1830. ... Being disciplined in the
2 CONT severe school of the vicissitudes of life and the fickleness of
2 CONT fotune, economy became his beacon in the afternoon of life. He felt it
2 CONT a duty, he said, he owed it to his God, to his country, and to his
2 CONT fellow man , to attend the memorial services of Prsident Garfield."

1 NOTE BIO:Jefferson Davis Miles was born in Frankfort, Kentucky the son of Evan
2 CONT C. Miles and his second wife Annie Malinda Burns. He was baptised at 
2 CONT the Church of The Ascension, an Episcopalian church on 7-28-1861. One
2 CONT would guess that his name reflected his parents sympathies in the 
2 CONT War Between the States, but this is somewhat confusing. The Miles 
2 CONT family had a long history of being anti-slavery and two of his 
2 CONT father's brothers served in the Union Army. However, at the time of 
2 CONT his birth his father Evan C. Miles was living and working in Frankfort,
2 CONT Ky. Many of his cousin's were well to do business men. One of Evan's
2 CONT cousins rode with Morgan's Raiders and died at the "Battle of Green 
2 CONT River Bridge" (see Samuel Isaac Miles).
2 CONT   In the 1880 census of Louisville Jefferson D. Miles is listed as 19
2 CONT y.o. and living with his parents. He was employed as a printer. The 
2 CONT 1911 Caron's City Directory lists Jefferson D. Miles as an advertising
2 CONT agent for Thompson and Silvey Distributing Company. His address is on
2 CONT Rowan street at the time the same as his sister "Minnie" Miles.
2 CONT Jefferson D. Miles never married. My grandfather told me that Uncle
2 CONT Jeff was a diabetic and that he had had a leg amputated. His death
2 CONT certificate states that he died at City Hospital ( the forerunner of 
2 CONT the old Louisville General Hospital) of chronic parenchymal nephritis,
2 CONT this is a complication of diabetes mellitus (sugar). On his death 
2 CONT certificate his brother Isaac N. Miles is listed as the informant but
2 CONT there are several mistakes. His birthdate is given as 4-20-1861 but 
2 CONT "Ky. Ancestors" Volume 15 #3 page 133 gives the baptismal information 
2 CONT and date of birth the same as the Ky. department of Vital Statistics.
2 CONT  He died on February 4, 1915 and was buried in St. John's Roman
2 CONT Catholic Cemetery in Louisville, Ky. I am not sure as to why the 
2 CONT family converted to Catholicism, but family lore has it that sometime
2 CONT during a general epidemic, nuns from a nearby convent nursed the 
2 CONT family back to health and that they converted. Certainly, his mother
2 CONT Annie Malinda Burns Miles is buried at St. John's and his sister
2 CONT Mary Allen "Minnie" Miles is buried at St. Louis Cemetery, also a  
2 CONT Roman Catholic Cemetery. However, Evan C. Miles was buried at Eastern
2 CONT Cemetery which is public and I am not sure if he was converted to 
2 CONT Roman Catholic or not.

1 NOTE BIO: In 1802 William Henry Harrison was governor of the Northwest 
2 CONT Territory with a huge mansion in Vincennes, Indiana called" Grouseland
2 CONT ".Indians were still roving the Indiana Territory "stealing horses, 
2 CONT killing livestock, shooting at- and often hitting- settlers as they
2 CONT cleared their fields or laid out new roads". Negotiations were under
2 CONT way between France and the U.S. for the Louisiana Territory. The 
2 CONT borders of Kentucky were not yet tame as the Kickapoos and the Sac
2 CONT tribes of the Illinois Territory tried to stem the unrelenting 
2 CONT  tide of white settlers. And in Millville on the Glenn's Creek
2 CONT  branch of the Kentucky river on August 31, 1802  Samuel Isaac Miles
2 CONT  was born to Isaac and Mary Jones Miles as their fourth child.
2 CONT   In " A History of Woodford County" Railey states" Samuel,however,
2 CONT remained in the vicinity and succeeded his father in the milling
2 CONT industry. He and an Englishman named Gorbett added a cotton and woolen
2 CONT factory to the other interests in the vicinity, in which they made
2 CONT cotton jeans, and other fabrics that supplied the wants of a vast
2 CONT territory that needed the cloth. They also added a wagon factory, with
2 CONT a blacksmith shop attached, that supplied other wants in that 
2 CONT territory, and these various enterprises, together with a store filled
2 CONT with general merchandise that they established, put the village on the
2 CONT map and it remained a thriving little town until the Civil War...
2 CONT   As a compliment to Samuel Miles, the citizens sought to name it 
2 CONT Milestown, but as two gristmills were operating at the time, one at
2 CONT the upper and the other at the lower end of the village, he urged
2 CONT Millville as a more suitable name and it was adopted. 
2 CONT   Samuel Miles married in 1825, Elizabeth Hawkins, of Franklin County,
2 CONT and the names of their children follow: John E. Miles who married
2 CONT first, Emily Payne of Marietta, Ohio, in 1850, second Annie Hawkins,
2 CONT daughter of Isham Keith Hawkins and Sarah Hall;William J. Miles, who
2 CONT married Susan Brassfield; Sarah Adelia Miles, who married Thaddeus
2 CONT Smith; Mary Hanna Miles, who married John Taylor, and Samuel I. Miles,
2 CONT who enlisted with General John Morgan's command and was sacrificed at
2 CONT Green River bridge in 1863."
2 CONT   On 10-28-1994 I visited Millville,Ky. It is off of the Bluegrass
2 CONT Parkway between Frankfort and Versailles, Ky. A right onto Highway
2 CONT 1679 leads to a curvy ride to  a small town that lays along the 
2 CONT meandering creek. Two large factories stand probably at the sites of
2 CONT the old mills. The eastern end of town is the site of the "Old Crow
2 CONT Distillery". 
2 CONT   From the Woodford County deed book we get an inkling of the exodus
2 CONT of the Miles family from Woodford County and Samuel's plan to stay.
2 CONT On page 267 in the deedbook of Woodford County..."this sixteenth day
2 CONT of October...1827... between Isaac Miles of the County of Woodford...
2 CONT and Samuel Miles of the County  and State aforesaid... of the sum of 
2 CONT $50... in the county of Woodford...about 40 acres... a corner to
2 CONT Isaac Miles... below the grist mill... in Perry's Spring branch...
2 CONT the said Isaac Miles sons reserve for his lifetime only after which it
2 CONT is the property of the said Samuel Miles forever and the said Isaac
2 CONT Miles does covenant to and with the said Samuel Miles..." This is 
2 CONT signed by Isaac Miles and witnessed by Walter L. Brighthall and
2 CONT Isaac Miles,Jr. Samuel is also a witness to a sale on October 16,1827
2 CONT of 92 acres on Glenn's Creekby Isaac Sr. to Isaac, Jr. 
2 CONT   On page 31 in the 1836 deeds Samuel buys 46 acres on Glenn's Creek
2 CONT on 3-24-1836 from David Castleman and Virginia ?.He had previously
2 CONT bought (on 10-04-1834) 50 acres on Glenn's Creek from Isaac Miles and
2 CONT his wife Lucinda of Shelby County.
2 CONT  Samuel is also listed in his father's(Isaac) will in Jefferson County
2 CONT ,Indiana on 3-02-1852.

1 NOTE BIO:  John E. Miles was one of the most successful descendants of 
2 CONT Samuel Miles. He was born in Woodford County on 12-24-1827, the son of
2 CONT Samuel Isaac Miles and Elizabeth Hawkins. In " Biographical Sketches"
2 CONT on page 819 there is the following account, apparently written while
2 CONT John E. was living.
2 CONT   " John E. Miles, born in Woodford Co., Ky., December 24, 1827, is 
2 CONT the second son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hawkins) Miles. He was reared
2 CONT in woodford Co. and educated at the common schools. His father was a 
2 CONT miller, owned the old mill that stood in Millville, Woodford Co., and
2 CONT there John E. commenced to work when he was a small boy. When Samuel
2 CONT Miles died John E. bought the mill and made money out of it with which
2 CONT to pay for it. He operated this mill until 1873, when he moved to 
2 CONT Frankfort, where he had, in the meantime, built the City Mill, which
2 CONT is the largest in the city, has complete roller process attached, and 
2 CONT makes 250 barrels of flour a day. John E. Miles married in 1850 to 
2 CONT Emily Payne, of Marietta, Ohio, daughter of Norman Payne and Lydia
2 CONT (Hussey) Payne, ans seven children blessed this union, five living:
2 CONT  James N., Effie S., Alma S., Iva N., and Samuel I. Iva N. married
2 CONT Guy N. Emmitt, of Louisville, Ky. and had two children John M. and Guy
2 CONT N. She is a member of the Christian Church. Mr. Mile's wife died in 
2 CONT 1876, a member of the Christian Church. Mr. Miles next married, in 
2 CONT 1877, Miss Annie Hawkins, of Woodford County, daughter of I.K. and
2 CONT Sarah (Hall) Hawkins. One child has blessed this union, Mary K. Mr. 
2 CONT Miles' paternal grandfather, Isaac, was born in Virginia, was a miller
2 CONT , and immigrated to Kentucky at an early day, and it is said built the
2 CONT first mill in the State. James N., the eldest son of J.E. and Emily  
2 CONT (Payne) Miles, was born in Woodford County, Ky., March 9, 1852; was
2 CONT educated at Midway College and finished at the University of Kentucky
2 CONT at Lexington, Ky. He married April 26, 1876, Miss Mary C. Franklin, of
2 CONT Frankfort, daughter of Walter R. and Agnes (Brawner) Franklin. Five 
2 CONT children were born to them--three now living: Franklin H., Norman P., 
2 CONT and Robert S. James N. is a member of the Christian Church; his wife
2 CONT of the Methodist South. James N. is a full partner in the mill, and 
2 CONT the style of the firm is Miles & Son. John E. Miles owns 200 acres of 
2 CONT land in Woodford County; is a member of the Christian Church, as are 
2 CONT also his wife and his daughters, Effie S. and Alma S. He was a 
2 CONT volunteer in the Mexican war, and served as a private in Thomas F.
2 CONT Marshall's company under Col. Humphrey Marshall."
2 CONT   Additional information from Railey's "History of Woodford County"
2 CONT states that his " J.E.M. brand of flour was very popular for thirty or
2 CONT more years and is now used by a Lexington Milling Company and retains 
2 CONT its popularity."
2 CONT   In the "Register of the Kentucky State Historical Society" on pages
2 CONT 128 and 129 the additional information is found.
2 CONT " JOHN E.MILES...was one of the oldest citizen's of Frankfort. He died
2 CONT May 12th, 1908, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Ivy Emmett in 
2 CONT this city...He was a soldier in the Mexican War and was often 
2 CONT consulted in regard to the battles of Buena Vista and Palo Alto, and
2 CONT the old forts reared by the Americans in Mexico...Mr. Miles was a 
2 CONT progressive, intelligent kind man; he established a reputation
2 CONT throughout America as a manufacturer of the finest flour on two
2 CONT Continents....As a Kentucky miller, he visited Europe and could write
2 CONT and talk of his travels in the most entertaining style, and of his 
2 CONT large sales of flour in different cities abroad. At one time he was 
2 CONT one of the wealthiest men in the city. He bought and lived in many 
2 CONT years, one of the famous old homes of the City on St. Clair Street 
2 CONT erected by Peter Dudley, one of the pioneers of the State....A few 
2 CONT years ago Mr. Miles went out of the manufactory of flour. Later he 
2 CONT sold the old home to Rogers Brothers, and they erected on the site,the
2 CONT present furniture store...Mr. Miles was twice married. His first wife
2 CONT was Miss Emily Payne, an Eastern lady, and a teacher. She died and he 
2 CONT married a second time Miss Annie Hawkins...noted for her beauty and
2 CONT culture... Among the first men in Frankfort who joined the Ky. State
2 CONT Historical Society, when reorganized in 1897, was Mr.John E. Miles--__
2 CONT and we remember with grateful pleasure his encouragement in the cause
2 CONT , and his interest and aid in the upbuilding, and success...He was a 
2 CONT constant reader of the Register, and a promoter of its prosperity,and
2 CONT we mourn the loss of such a genial, helpful spirit...His funeral from 
2 CONT his church was one of the largest that has been seen in the city in
2 CONT many years. His grave was covered with rare and costly flowers,
2 CONT tributes of love and respect, from his own and distant cities. He
2 CONT was the last survivor of the Mexican War in Franklin County: His 
2 CONT grave is not far from the famous "Bivouac of the Dead" that is under 
2 CONT the shadow of the military monument erected to the memory of the
2 CONT heroes of Buena Vista and Palo Alto.'The muffled drums sad roll has 
2 CONT beat the soldier's last tattoo'."
2 CONT   He was obviously a man repected as much for his character as for 
2 CONT his worldly success. It must have been an interesting time in which
2 CONT to live.

1 NOTE BIO:Samuel Isaac Miles, Jr. was born in 1863 the son of Samuel I. Miles
2 CONT and Annie Hawkins. The family was successful in business and became
2 CONT one of the more prominent "Bluegrass" families in the days prior to
2 CONT the Civil War. According to Railey in his " History of Woodford County
2 CONT ", Samuel rode with the famous John Hunt Morgan on the side of the
2 CONT Confederacy. 
2 CONT   It was typical of Kentucky in that the Miles family was noted
2 CONT as anti-slavery and according to several accounts Isaac Miles,
2 CONT the grandfather of Samuel I., Jr. spoke against slavery. In fact in
2 CONT her book "The Hoosier Connection" Ms. Bradshaw claims that the Miles
2 CONT family moved to Indiana in the 1820's in protest over slavery. But 
2 CONT some of them stayed and of those who were successful  there is
2 CONT evidence that in the Bluegrass region  they were slave owners.
2 CONT   This author's great great grandfather was born in Indiana but he , 
2 CONT Evan C. Miles, moved back to Kentucky in the 1850's and in 1861
2 CONT named his first born son Jefferson Davis Miles, most likely in
2 CONT support of the South. Two of his brothers fought with the Union Army. 
2 CONT The question is was the support one of slavery (actually a later issue
2 CONT in that war), of States Rights or was Evan swayed by his contact
2 CONT with his cousins at the time of the outbreak of the war?
2 CONT   In any event Samuel Isaac Miles, Jr. fell at the battle of Green 
2 CONT River bridge while riding with General John Hunt Morgan. The site is
2 CONT also called The Battle of Tebb's Bend. It is located on the Morgan-
2 CONT Moore Trail, a road off of Highway 55 betwwen Columbia, Ky. and 
2 CONT Campbellsville, Ky.
2 CONT   Three markers stand there today. On a hilltop overlooking a valley
2 CONT one sees the Green River meandering through. To assault those heights
2 CONT by frontal attack would have been impossible as the river lies far 
2 CONT below in the valley .
2 CONT   The fist marker is a monument to the Confederate dead "not
2 CONT forgotten by their countrymen." It looks to be white marble and stands
2 CONT at the apex of the hill. A slender simple pointed monolith.
2 CONT   The second marker is a state marker in bronze. " Independence Day-
2 CONT 1863. Morgan's Raiders on way to Ohio approached 200 USA Michigan
2 CONT Infantry under Col. O.H. Moore, intrenched(sic) here. Morgan demanded
2 CONT surrender. Moore replied 4th of July was no day to entertain such a 
2 CONT proposition. Eight CSA assaults repulsed in 3 hour battle, 36 CSA
2 CONT killed, 45 wounded. 6 USA killed, 23 wounded. Morgan bypassed and 
2 CONT moved on after significant delay."
2 CONT   The third marker is a Michigan Historical Site. "Michigan at Tebbs 
2 CONT Bend. The 25th Michigan Volunteer Infantry was organized at Kalamazoo 
2 CONT and mustered into service in Sept. 1862 under the command of Col. 
2 CONT Orlando H. Moore. The companies of the regiments that fought here
2 CONT were Co. D recruited at Three Rivers, Co. E recruited at Calesburg,
2 CONT Co. F recruited at Niles, Co. I recruited at Holland, and Co. K
2 CONT recruited at Buchanan. When ordered by General John H. Morgan to 
2 CONT surrender Colonel Moore replied, 'This being the Fourth of July, I
2 CONT cannot entertain the proposition of surrender.' Total casualties for 
2 CONT the Twenty-fifth Infantry were six killed and twenty-four wounded. 
2 CONT Eighty-one confederate troops fell, including twenty-two commisioned
2 CONT officers." " Erected July 4, 1988 by the Holland- Zeeland, Michigan
2 CONT Civil War Roundtable.
2 CONT   It is hard to explain how Kentuckians felt about that war. I lost
2 CONT a relative, albeit distant, at that site. I had relatives on both
2 CONT sides of the conflict. And yet over 120 years later it galled me on
2 CONT that bright summer morning visit that the "Yankees" had again
2 CONT invaded my state and placed a marker ( larger and more verbose as well
2 CONT as significantly more gaudy-it was lime green!) at the site where my
2 CONT distant cousin had died. I am obviously abhorrent of slavery but I 
2 CONT still feel that the loss of states rights and the rise of Federal
2 CONT power to it's present monstrous proportions was a blow to all the
2 CONT country.
2 CONT   Samuel Isaac Miles, Jr. was buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. He was
2 CONT unmarried.
1 NOTE Lois Myer says born 1841 but Sam Miles LDS files say 1836.
2 CONT " A History of Woodford County",Railey pp. 88-90.
2 CONT I made a personal visit to the site of the "Battle of Tebb's Bend-
2 CONT Green River Bridge". It is about 20 miles from where I now live and I
2 CONT had passed the site for 15 years without knowing of it.

1 NOTE BIO:Mary Velton was known to us as "Mom Miles". According to a
2 CONT conversation that I had with my grandfather he met her while she was
2 CONT selling tickets at a movie theatre.Her mother Lena Caro married John N. Velten 
2 CONT the deputy tax assessor for Jefferson County,Ky. Lena died in child-
2 CONT birth when Mom was 2 years old.She was raised by a stepmother, Rose 
2 CONT Bush. Mom spelled her last name Velton but her family's names are all
2 CONT spelled Velten. When she named my father John Velton Miles it was"on".
2 CONT   She was a very strong woman. According to my father as a child he
2 CONT and a cousin were chased into their yard by a policeman, during the 
2 CONT depression. Mom stood up to the policeman and told him that he should
2 CONT be out chasing bootleggers and gangsters rather than children.
2 CONT   I remember Mom as a dark complected slightly hirsuit lady who 
2 CONT always smelled of powder and constantly carried her rosary. I also 
2 CONT remember how she would fall asleep in a chair often and suddenly.When
2 CONT my father was diagnosed (at my suggestion as a medical student) to
2 CONT have narcolepsy I knew that she had had it as well. She also had 
2 CONT severe rheumatoid arthritis.
2 CONT   Mary Miles was a true baseball fan and I can remember the priest
2 CONT at her funeral describing how she always rooted for the underdogs and
2 CONT was a long suffering Mets baseball fan. The Mets won the World Series
2 CONT just a year or so before her death and it brought her a great joy.

1 NOTE BIO:Daniel L. Miles was this author's grandfather. He was a large and 
2 CONT physically powerful man. In his younger days he was called "Big Six"
2 CONT referring to his height. On a fishing trip in 1970 he told me stories
2 CONT of his youth. On this same trip we were picked up by the game warden 
2 CONT with a stringer full of fish. One was 1/4 of an inch too small. I was 
2 CONT given a ticket and told to appear in court. My mother was working for
2 CONT some doctors at the time and one of them knew the judge. He called 
2 CONT him and "put in a good word". On the appointed day my grandfather 
2 CONT insisted on going to court with me. After the judge entered, "Pop",as 
2 CONT he was known to us ,stood up and said "Judge, did you get that call?"
2 CONT I was sure we were going to jail! The judge replied that he had and
2 CONT then proceeded to lecture the game warden on ruining our day of fish-
2 CONT ing when a lot of teens were out doing drugs etc. Pop was fearless
2 CONT and a man without guile. 
2 CONT   He only had a third grade education because his father abandoned
2 CONT the family when Daniel(Pop) was only 8 y.o. As the oldest child he had
2 CONT to go to work, but he was very intelligent. While in his late sixties
2 CONT he took a correspondence course in constitutional law and passed it.
2 CONT He was the one who introduced me to the Harvard Classics. This man
2 CONT with a third grade education read "Don Quixote","A Tale of Two Cities"
2 CONT , and other great works of Western civilization.
2 CONT   He was also educated in the ways of the world. He told me of working
2 CONT as a paperboy in the "Redlight District" of old Louisville- the ladies
2 CONT liked him and would make their customers tip him. The 1910 census in
2 CONT Louisville lists him at age 14 as a "tagger" in a factory. Pop told me
2 CONT that he helped drive cattle from the river boats up Market street for
2 CONT slaughter. He laughingly described being big for his age and having
2 CONT to fight the "drovers" at times. Pop was a member of the railroad
2 CONT union in the days when one would get his legs broken for belonging
2 CONT and he loved FDR for making the railways accept the unions during
2 CONT WWII.
2 CONT   My father has told me that as a child that he would often have to
2 CONT go to bars to try and bring my grandfather home. He was a "rounder",
2 CONT as my family put it. He would occasionally come home in a cab and
2 CONT was so bitter about his father that the cabbies would knock on the 
2 CONT door and ask if "Danny O'Leary" lived there. Then the family knew
2 CONT that he had been drinking.
2 CONT   My father saw this side of him, but my mother loved him. As a 
2 CONT Catholic boy and a Methodist girl the priest refused to marry my
2 CONT parents and recommended that my father could find a "good Catholic
2 CONT girl." When they spoke with my grandfather he said" Buddy, if you love
2 CONT this girl marry her or you'll be sorry." In later years when Pop was
2 CONT senile and trying to live at home my mother never complained about
2 CONT cooking, cleaning, or even bathing him.  
2 CONT   As a child I learned a nonsense poem that Pop taught my dad. 
2 CONT " The rooster cackled and the hen looked around and said 'if you 
2 CONT you want some of my bowwow you'll have to run me down." Stupid, but it
2 CONT showed a lust for life and a love of laughter. 
2 CONT   To me he had class. I remember him always in a suit and tie with a
2 CONT hat and a full head of hair as thick and full and as wavy
2 CONT as when he was twenty but snow white and perfectly combed. Quoting
2 CONT poetry or the classics. Writing letters to the editor of the news-
2 CONT papers. He was the reason that I began my research. His stories of
2 CONT Uncle Jeff and Uncle "Nambo" later lead me to Jefferson Davis Miles
2 CONT and to Samuel A. Miles ( how else would a child say Samuel?). He told
2 CONT me that his fathers name was Patty (his baseball nickname and the name
2 CONT under which he died and was buried). Despite a minimal formal
2 CONT education he had "class" and I knew that it was from a source other
2 CONT than his beloved Irish farmer maternal side. My grandfather gave my
2 CONT father and I a sense of pride, a sense of humor, and an understanding
2 CONT that we all have weaknesses and imperfections, but that we all also
2 CONT have an endogenous worth. Regardless of our financial status, we can 
2 CONT still appreciate learning and good manners.
2 CONT   When Pop was in his seventies my grandmother had died and we took
2 CONT him to Florida with us on a vacation. Right after a storm the waves 
2 CONT were crashing into shore. My father and I are big men. Both 6 ft 7 ".
2 CONT Dad was about 260 pounds and strong. I was about 190 pounds and play-
2 CONT ing college basketball. The waves were tossing us around like ragdolls
2 CONT and there stood this 70+ y.o. man in their midst, laughing at us for
2 CONT getting knocked down. He hand fired coal engines all of his adult life
2 CONT and was as physically strong as any man I have known. But his real
2 CONT strength was a zest for life and a love of his family.

1 NOTE BIO:I, Richard Stayton Miles, am the author of this journal of the
2 CONT extended family of Samuel Miles. It is difficult to write one's own 
2 CONT biography. The tendency is to over do it and be labelled egotistical
2 CONT or to underplay it and limit information to future generations. I will
2 CONT attempt to walk the line and wander as little as possible,writing in
2 CONT the third person in order to be consistent with the other biographies
2 CONT in this journal.
2 CONT   Rick Miles was born in Louisville, Ky. on May 23, 1951 to John V.
2 CONT Miles and Beulah Fay Stayton Miles. He was raised in Shively, a suburb
2 CONT of Louisville where the mostly Irish and German white inhabitants of
2 CONT the West-end of Louisville fled the influx of "Negroes" into that area
2 CONT of Louisville. The fathers were mostly working class veterans of
2 CONT World War II. The neighborhood was a classic subdivision with two or
2 CONT three basic home designs on 50x150 foot lots. He grew up with 20 other
2 CONT kids within 2-3 years of his age with alcohol the only drug 
2 CONT of significance and the atom bomb the worst threat to his life, at
2 CONT least until he began to drive. This he learned on 31W, known as the
2 CONT Dixie"Dieway" or more formally the Dixie Highway.
2 CONT   In the summer of 1968 he attended the Jefferson Community College
2 CONT on the honors program expecting to skip his senior year of high 
2 CONT school and go on to college in the fall. However, Suda E. Butler High
2 CONT School had just gotten a new basketball coach, Lonnie Willoughby, who
2 CONT discovered Rick's plan. After years of languishing on the bench this 
2 CONT coach decided that a 6 foot 6 inch 160 pound 17 year old could play
2 CONT basketball. He called on the family and convinced Rick and his parents
2 CONT to give high school another year. And what a year!
2 CONT   As a senior Rick was president of the National Honor Society and the
2 CONT Beta Club, manager of the bookstore, captain of the basketball team
2 CONT and voted Most Likely to Succeed. He was voted second team all Sixth
2 CONT Region and was noted as a defensive player. After graduating in 1969
2 CONT he received a one year basketball scholarship to the University of
2 CONT Louisville where he started on the Freshman Cardinal Team. Coach
2 CONT John Dromo later extended the scholarship to all four years. In 1972
2 CONT Coach Denny Crum became the head coach at U. of L. and Rick was part
2 CONT of the beginning of the "Denny Crum Dynasty" in basketball at U of L.
2 CONT During his four years at Louisville, the team went to the N.I.T. in 
2 CONT 1971 and 1973 ( during these years only 16 teams went to the NCAA
2 CONT tournament and the N.I.T. was still prestigious). In 1972 the team,
2 CONT under Coach Crum in his first year went to the Final Four in the NCAA
2 CONT losing to UCLA during it's incredible run of NCAA domination under
2 CONT Coach John Wooden. Rick's regret was that he was not on the travelling
2 CONT team in 1972 so he missed the trip, but he always felt a part of that
2 CONT team. During his four years at Louisville, he played with, and daily
2 CONT practiced against, such players as Mike Grosso, Jim Price, Henry Bacon
2 CONT , Phillip Bond, Ullyses"Junior" Bridgeman, Allen Murphy,and Ron Thomas
2 CONT , all of whom played either ABA or NBA Basketball. Though not a great
2 CONT talent himself he learned that hard work could often overcome 
2 CONT intrinsic deficits.
2 CONT   Rick was more talented as a musician than as a basketball player and
2 CONT he and his brother Dan Miles formed a band called "The Blue Notes" in 
2 CONT 1963. At the age of 10 he began playing the trumpet and by the age of
2 CONT 13 was playing professionally around the city of Louisville. Often,he
2 CONT had to rush from a ballgame to a band job as the group stayed booked
2 CONT every Saturday and most Friday nights. The band played "dance music"
2 CONT from jazz to country including some Rock and Roll but "blues" was
2 CONT the group's forte. Once, in 1966 the band entered a" Battle of the
2 CONT Bands" sponsored by WHAS, a television station in Louisville.
2 CONT The producer, Chuck Hall, told the band that the competition was all
2 CONT amateur Rock and Roll groups. He suggested that the "Blue Notes"
2 CONT withdraw from the competition and instead gave the band 12 spots on 
2 CONT the local Hi Varieties television show. The band played together until
2 CONT 1973 when it disbanded due to it's members getting "real" jobs or
2 CONT going to school.
2 CONT   At the age of 14 Rick joined his brother Dan in a show called the
2 CONT "Union Barrack-ades". This was a UAW sponsored USO-type show that
2 CONT entertained soldiers and did benefit shows. There was no financial
2 CONT reimbursement but Ernie and Ada "Shorty" Grawmeyer opened up a new 
2 CONT world to the boys from Shively. Dan was old enough (16 y.o.) to travel
2 CONT overseas and went to Santo Domingo, Japan and the Phillipines with
2 CONT the show. Rick was content to travel by plane and bus all over the 
2 CONT U.S. Third Army- Fort Bragg N.C.,Fort Benning Ga.,Fort Rucker Ala.,
2 CONT Fort Campbell Ky.,Stewart Air base,Ga.Fort MaClellen,Fort McPherson,
2 CONT and many others, as well as V.A. Hospitals, nursing homes and
2 CONT Institutions for the "Mentally Retarded" as they were known at that
2 CONT time. The dancers and musicians travelled under army orders in the
2 CONT summers putting on two or three shows a day and travelling by bus
2 CONT and plane all over the south. Literally thousands of soldiers were
2 CONT entertained in service clubs, parking lots, tents,and hospital wards.
2 CONT This was during the build-up and entire run of the Viet Nam War, when
2 CONT patriotism was not an "in" thing. The teenagers and adults who 
2 CONT participated in the troupe gave their weekends and summers in order
2 CONT to help the soldiers, many who later gave it all in a war that most
2 CONT of society would rather have forgotten.But, in giving the givers also 
2 CONT received. The cheers of 2000 trainees who hadn't seen a girl for six
2 CONT weeks, the hug of a Down's Syndrome child in a state institution,
2 CONT or the smile of an elderly person in a nursing home who hadn't seen 
2 CONT a teenager for months were rewards that taught Rick the real meaning
2 CONT of "It is better to give than to receive."
2 CONT   The Union Barrack-ades was like a large extended family. And it was 
2 CONT in reality to become Rick's family. His brother Dan married Carolyn
2 CONT Roberts,a dancer whose father,mother, brother and three sisters,as 
2 CONT well as cousins were members of the troupe. Rick first met his future
2 CONT wife Terry Sallee when she was an 11 year old pantomimist with the
2 CONT show. As she grew and was joined by her two younger sisters Rick at  
2 CONT first became friends with his future father-in-law Charles "Corky"
2 CONT Sallee and his wife Irma. Later, Rick took notice of Terry and they 
2 CONT dated on and off for several years. The 4 year difference became less
2 CONT noticable as they grew older and in 1976 Rick and Terry were wed
2 CONT at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary by Mike Gatton a Christian
2 CONT minister and Terry's cousin.The wedding was attended by over 400
2 CONT of their closest friends and relatives, including family, college
2 CONT basketball (his) and cheerleading (hers) friends. U.B.'s( as the
2 CONT members of the show were known), and medical school classmates. 
2 CONT   At the age of 10 Rick underwent an appendectomy and began a lifelong
2 CONT interest in medicine. He graduated from the University of Louisville
2 CONT with a B.A. in Chemistry in 1973 and that fall entered the University
2 CONT of Louisville's School of Medicine. In 1977 he entered the U of L
2 CONT affiliated Family Practice Residency associated with St. Anthony's
2 CONT Hospital. He was the Chief Resident 1979-1980 and became Board 
2 CONT Certified in 1980. Rick entered a medical practice as a solo family
2 CONT practitioner in Russell Springs,Ky. August 4, 1980. He was the first
2 CONT new doctor in the community in over 20 years. As a result of combined
2 CONT community effort and the efforts of Dr. Larry Loehle and Dr. Barrett
2 CONT Bernard ( who had attended UofL with Rick), Rick helped open and put  
2 CONT the first patient in the Russell County Hospital in 1981. The three
2 CONT young doctors also joined with Dr. Charles Peck and pharmacist Leon
2 CONT Grider to design and build the Lake Cumberland Medical Arts Building
2 CONT in Russell Springs thus bringing medical care into the 80's in Russell
2 CONT County.
2 CONT   In 1981 at the request of the Kentucky Medical Association, at the 
2 CONT age of 30 Doctor Miles became a member of the Kentucky Peer Review
2 CONT Organization's Board of Directors. KPRO was assigned the task of 
2 CONT implementing many of the changes in medical care that were taking 
2 CONT place at that time, such as preauthorization of hospital stays and 
2 CONT quality assurance of physicians. The five years on that board saw
2 CONT some of the greatest changes in the delivery of medical care and a 
2 CONT great loss of independence in practice for physicians. The board tried
2 CONT to serve as a buffer between the changes in federal law and the
2 CONT practicing physician while fairly policing quality of care issues in
2 CONT the state of Kentucky. It was a gruelling experience. As stated in an
2 CONT article published in "Medical Economics" in December 1984 by Doctor
2 CONT Miles, preauthorization saved almost 38 million dollars for the state
2 CONT of Kentucky with review by physician's policing themselves. In 1986
2 CONT KPRO lost it's contract because it was not vindictive enough. Doctor
2 CONT Miles was then part of the Quality Assurance Committee for it's  
2 CONT successor, but when the tone turned to strictly percentages of 
2 CONT reduction rather than true quality review he resigned from the 
2 CONT committee.
2 CONT   In 1992 Rick was elected Secretary of the Kentucky Academy of 
2 CONT Family Physicians. He has served this organization as a District  
2 CONT Director and on the Long Range Planning Committee. 
2 CONT   In 1993 Doctor Miles was appointed as chairman of the Kentucky
2 CONT Medicaid Drug Formulary Advisory Board, which advised the commisioner
2 CONT of the Department of Human Resources as to which drugs should be on 
2 CONT the state formulary. He was charged with implementing the OBRA 1990
2 CONT laws. He served on this Board until January 1995 at which time he 
2 CONT resigned in protest over the state provider tax and reduction of 
2 CONT Medicaid benefits which he felt would reduce accessibility of patients
2 CONT to doctors and prevent the ability to recruit doctors to rural
2 CONT Kentucky.
2 CONT   At the time of this biography Doctor Miles is practicing in 
2 CONT Russell Springs, Ky. Despite a very active practice he is on the 
2 CONT Steering Committee for the Russell County Habitat for Humanity,
2 CONT he is president of the Russell County Medical Society, and Vice-
2 CONT President of the Russell County Hospital Medical Staff. He attends
2 CONT the Russell Springs United Methodist church and has sung at many 
2 CONT community functions. He also has coached junior league basketball
2 CONT for the last four years.

1 NOTE BIO:John Velton Miles was born March 20,1925 in Louisville, Ky. to Daniel
2 CONT L. Miles and Mary L. Velton. Although his mother's family spelled the
2 CONT name Velten, his mother spelled it Velton, which may have basis as the
2 CONT name may have origionally been Veltone in Alsace-Lorraine. John 
2 CONT attended St. Benedict's Catholic School in the Westend of Louisville.
2 CONT I was told at my Uncle's funeral that once my father's (John Miles)
2 CONT eighth grade basketball team was one of the best in it's day and that
2 CONT they beat St. Josephs prep school of Bardstown - this was a prepschool
2 CONT team. At the age of 17 John "left" St. Xavier high school following
2 CONT an incident in which a priest was hitting him on the head and he 
2 CONT struck back. He then entered the U.S. Army and served in World War II.
2 CONT   John Miles served in the 171st Combat Engineer Battalion,Company B.
2 CONT B.M. Davis 2nd Lt. was his commanding officer. He received his 
2 CONT training at Camp Carson,Colorado. 
2 CONT   In Europe on D-Day he jumped behind enemy lines with the 82nd
2 CONT Airborne, according to his story to me. The 171st was part of Texas
2 CONT Bill Simpson's "Fighting Ninth"- the youngest army in the field. They
2 CONT fought at the seige of Best then to Luxembourg and held the Arannes
2 CONT Forest. The Ninth  served in the Holland Aacher sector then on 
2 CONT November 16 to the Rohr River to protect the 1st Army flank. "It met
2 CONT some of the toughest fighting on the Western Front". On February 23
2 CONT the Ninth Army built up for the main drive toward the Rhine. In March
2 CONT in 48 hours troops surged through the Rohr and established a deep 
2 CONT bridgehead.The Ninth linked up with the 1st Army at Pederbonn and
2 CONT reached the Elbe River 69 miles from Berlin "only to be halted by
2 CONT Gen. Eisenhower's order." John Miles crossed the Elbe River at the
2 CONT Rammagan Bridge.
2 CONT   His decorations included Allied colors,Victory ribbon,Eto Albbon 
2 CONT with three battle stars, Core 2 Paris Patch,11th Corp 9th Army patch
2 CONT and Rifle Expert Patch. He claimed that of 1000 men in his unit only
2 CONT 32 of the origional men survived.
2 CONT   After the war John worked at American Express making deliveries.
2 CONT He was then hired by  South Central Bell Telephone Company where he 
2 CONT worked as a "Switchman", repairing equipment  both inside and out.
2 CONT As part of his training he took electrical,math and physics classes 
2 CONT that were daunting but despite an 11th grade education he did well.
2 CONT   John was a large man at 6 foot 7 inches and weighing from 235
2 CONT to 325 lbs. during his adult life. He suffered from Narcolepsy and 
2 CONT later on Diabetes.This resulted in a medical retirement at age 55.
2 CONT He had had a heart attack at age 43 and a stroke at age 69. But, as a 
2 CONT boy I remember my father lifting 110 lb weights over his head with one
2 CONT hand. Once in a snow storm we ran off the road up onto a curb. He got
2 CONT out and picked up the back end of a '57 Chevy and scooted it back onto
2 CONT the road. Dad loved to laugh and people loved to be around him. He was
2 CONT an excellent singer (Welsh?) but had an occasional horrific burst of
2 CONT "Irish temper." His greatest attribute was not that he was a worldly
2 CONT success, but that his love of people and of family made him a "rich"
2 CONT man. This standard , he emphasized and passed on to his children.
1 NOTE The combat history was from an article in "The Stars And Stripes" ,
2 CONT the official military paper, from 1945 that is among John's personal
2 CONT papers. Also a brief article from the Louisville Courier Journal
2 CONT Sunday Roto Section .As well as my personal memories of my father, who
2 CONT is still alive at the time of this writing.
2 CONT John was raised Catholic but was excommunicated for marrying my 
2 CONT mother in the Methodist Church. This was in the days before Vatican II
2 CONT .He nevertheless felt that mass should still be in Latin and would
2 CONT not attend our church except on very special occasions.

1 NOTE BIO:Irma May Reitz was born in Louisville, Ky. December 4, 1930 the 
2 CONT daughter of Elmore Smith Reitz ,a mortician and Irma Viola Langhart 
2 CONT ,whose father Charles Conrad Langhart was a steamboat captain on the
2 CONT Ohio River. Irma May was raised in the Germantown area of Louisville.
2 CONT On December 9, 1950 she married Charles Ford Sallee in Louisville, Ky.
2 CONT Irma was the mother of Terry Ann Sallee, Martha Elaine Sallee and 
2 CONT Patricia Leigh Sallee. Irma and "Corky" lived in Okolona, a suburb of 
2 CONT Louisville until Corky retired from G.E. in 1990 and then they moved  
2 CONT to Russell Springs, Ky. to be close to their daughters, all of whom 
2 CONT had moved to there after Terry and her husband Dr. Rick Miles had
2 CONT moved in 1980. 
2 CONT   Irma was left handed as were all of her brothers. She was very 
2 CONT artistic loving to paint water colors and to sew. She was adept at
2 CONT making costumes which were as good as any found on Broadway. Irma
2 CONT made costumes for recitals that her daughters Marti and Patty put on
2 CONT annually for their Dance Academies. During the first production of the
2 CONT Nutcracker at the Star Theater in Russell Springs, Irma exceeded
2 CONT her prior accomplishments by making almost all of the costumes.Many
2 CONT who later saw the ballet in Loisville and Lexington felt that the
2 CONT costumes by Irma were as good if not better.
2 CONT   Irma is a dedicated homemaker. She is fierce in her love of her
2 CONT daughters and her grandchildren and spends her time either watching
2 CONT the grandchildren or sewing for her family.

1 NOTE BIO:Fairfield, Ky. is a small town located between Bloomfield and 
2 CONT Bardstown, Ky. According to "Historic Nelson County" by Smith "in 1795
2 CONT a dozen Catholic families under the leadership of Clement Gardiner
2 CONT and Nicholas Miles, settled on Cox's Creek, a mile from the present 
2 CONT site of Fairfield. By 1880...40-50 families...Nicholas Miles... 
2 CONT The H. McKenna Distillery was its industry." The distillery and the 
2 CONT McKenna home still stand just next to the small but well adorned St. 
2 CONT Michael's Catholic Church. 
2 CONT   Just outside of the town right on the Nelson-Spencer County line is
2 CONT a very well kept cemetery-St. Michael's. It is associated with the
2 CONT St. Michael's Catholic church in Fairfield. It was here that I found 
2 CONT the graves of some of my O'Leary ancestors.
2 CONT   The headstone says Daniel O'Leary born o. Kerry, Ireland July 15,
2 CONT 1839 Died June 26, 1905.It is to the right of three stones marked
2 CONT Nora E. Mulcare daughter of John and Nora Mulcare b. May 20,1893 Died
2 CONT June 24,1894. Sarah Briggs daughter of J.B. and Lizzie Briggs April 27
2 CONT ,1892 June 16, 1893. These two are small stones.Right next to Daniel
2 CONT is a large decorative stone"Honora T. wife of Daniel O'Leary, Sr.
2 CONT Born May 3, 1843 Died May 5, 1889 Pray For Her".These stones are
2 CONT confusing as Honora T. is given in all other family information as
2 CONT Hannah( Scanlan) and Daniel O'Leary,Sr. is given as John Daniel
2 CONT O'Leary, but the birth dates match. Further confusion is added by
2 CONT the fact that John Daniel O'Leary's father was Daniel O'Leary and
2 CONT his mother was Norah (Honora?) Harrington.
2 CONT   In" Spencer County Ky. Volume II Marriage and Orphan Bonds" on page
2 CONT 20 the following marriga bond is found "O'Leary, Daniel and Hannah 
2 CONT Scanlin(sic).10 Nov. 1861.Bondsman John Scanlan; Minister James Elliot
2 CONT ;Parent John Scanlins(sic);Spencer Co.; witnesses James Mud, Ellen
2 CONT Dumphy.
2 CONT   The 1880 Shelby County Census on sheet 15 line 1 Volume 26 lists
2 CONT Daniel O'Leary age 40 born in Ireland, Hannah 36 born Ireland, Katie 
2 CONT 16,Nora 14, Lizzie 12, Emmett 10, Mary 8, John 7, Rosia 5, Timothy 3, 
2 CONT and Margaret 2 all born in Kentucky.
2 CONT   A marriage bond executed on November 9, 1861 (the day before their
2 CONT marriage) lists a David( probably Daniel) O'Leary to marry Hannah
2 CONT Scanlan age 18 with John Scanlan as Bondsman. This gives the grooms
2 CONT occupation as shoemaker and place of birth as Ireland.

2 CONT Julia  the second wife of Daniel O'leary, Jr. whose first wife was 
2 CONT Lizzie Scanlan who is buried in St. Michael's  cemetery with the
2 CONT O'Learys.  Daniel O'Leary, Jr. married Lizzie Scanlan on February 25,

2 CONT gravestone says "Lizzie wife of D. O'Leary, Jr. born August 15, 1853 
2 CONT  Died December 24, 1882. Put Trust in Me. A Place in Heaven You'll 
2 CONT Own." I have a copy of Julia and Daniel O'Leary, Jr's Marriage bond 
2 CONT from Shelby Co. but the marriage was to take place in Spencer Co.  
2 CONT This would probably make Daniel O'Leary, Jr. an uncle of Mary and   
2 CONT Julia, the brother of John Daniel O'Leary who went by Daniel O'Leary 
2 CONT and whose father was Daniel O'Leary, Sr.  
2 CONT The family states that Julia(b. 1877) moved to Miami, Florida where

2 CONT Riley Community.
2 CONT   My father was a telegraph operator and general freight agent for 
2 CONT the L&N Railroad at Riley, Ky,during the late 1920's. He worked with
2 CONT Albert Hourigan and Roy Hourigan who shared the same responsibilities.
2 CONT I well remember living in Riley in the little yellow house near the
2 CONT post office down the cinder road along the railroad tracks about a 
2 CONT block from daddy's office...My grandma Stayton was the daughter of
2 CONT another pioneer family, Samuel Hancock. He donated the land in Marion
2 CONT County for a school. It was called the "Hancock School" and was 
2 CONT located on what is now called Handcock Road near Riley.He is buried in
2 CONT " Old Edwards Cemetery", also other members of the Hancocks are 
2 CONT buried there and I feel sure it was a part of his land at one time.
2 CONT I have in my possession a Souvenier Booklet of the Hancock School.
2 CONT W.R. Hourigan was the schoolmaster...a roll of the students were the 
2 CONT Stayton children,Flora, Florence, Bertha, and Jesse....
2 CONT After "The Great Depression " in 1930, my father,Jesse Stayton, left
2 CONT the L&N Railroad to take a position as a telegraph operator on the K&I
2 CONT Terminal Railroad in Louisville(Ky.) Soon thereafter, mother and their
2 CONT five children joined him."
2 CONT   Jesse Stayton stayed on in Louisville. During the 1937 flood he
2 CONT stayed on duty at the railroad for over a week without the family or
2 CONT him knowing each others wereabouts. His sons Roland,Jesse Clifton and
2 CONT Robert Stayton all followed him in the railroad business. He and his
2 CONT family of 8 children and wife all lived in a large brick house on 
2 CONT Wurtle Ave. in Shively, a suburb of Louisville. I remember him as a 
2 CONT fairly large man about 6'3'', balding with glasses. He had a large 
2 CONT field with a garden behind the house and raised chickens, rabbits and
2 CONT children. He passed his real estate liscense test late in life. He
2 CONT was noted for helping other families down on their luck. I remember
2 CONT a black man and his sons working on a new house that "Punky"( our
2 CONT nickname) was building.When my grandfather went to pay him my grand-
2 CONT mother protested that it was too much. His reply was that the man had 
2 CONT a large family and needed the money. He had his imperfections and was
2 CONT not above choosing favorites among his children and grandchildren but
2 CONT he was very much a family man. He died of diabetes and colon cancer
2 CONT in August of 1966 in Louisville and is buried in Memorial Gardens off
2 CONT of the Dixie Highway in Shively .

1 NOTE BIO:Jesse Clifton Stayton,63, of Lafayette,IN. on May 9, 1984. He retired
2 CONT from the Louisville, Ky. office, L&N Railroad,after 42 years of  
2 CONT railroad experience including 30 years as a train dispatcher.Death was
2 CONT caused by a fall from a high set of stairs that resulted in a skull
2 CONT fracture.
2 CONT   Bro. Stayton was born at Woodlawn ,Ky. on Oct. 18, 1920. He began 
2 CONT his railroad career as a telegrapher on the K&I September 27, 1938, 
2 CONT after learning telegraphy from his father. In 1939 he went to the 
2 CONT Southern Railway and back to the K&I in 1940. After spending 3 years  
2 CONT in the U.S. Navy as a radio operator he returned to the K&I and was 
2 CONT promoted to train dispatcher in June 1950. He went to the Monon R.R.
2 CONT in 1952 at Lafayette, IN. and transferred to Louisville, Ky. in 1976.
2 CONT   Bro. Stayton had been a continuous member of the A.T.D.A. since Aug.
2 CONT 8, 1952, and was awarded the special 25-year membership honor emblem
2 CONT on August 1, 1977.He attended the Immanuel United Church of Christ,
2 CONT The American Legion, and was a Past Master of Masonic Lodge #123. 
2 CONT   He is survived by his wife Doris, 5115 S. State Rd. #43, Lafayette,
2 CONT IN. 47905; two daughters, Bonnie Jay Greenwood of Michigan, and Janet
2 CONT Kay Traenkner, of California; and a son Clifton Stayton of Indiana.
2 CONT five grandchildren,Jennifer and Kelly Greenwood, Stacy and Wendy
2 CONT Traenkner, and Eric Stayton.
2 CONT  This was his obituary in "The Train Dispatcher"p. 114.
2 CONT Also from the Romney Journal and Courier-"Mid-North Food Finders Inc.
2 CONT must move in 30 days. Its building was sold. Rent will be a problem.
2 CONT Food Finders paid $175 a month to rent the building at 501 Elston Rd.
2 CONT from it's former owner Jay Stayton.
2 CONT   Emmett Koehler, food finder volunteer said 'Mr. Stayton was very 
2 CONT interested in our program of helping feed the poor, and when we moved
2 CONT from our EarlAve. place, he offered to rent his building to us for 
2 CONT only $175. It worked out well since we didn't have much money to pay
2 CONT rent.' Stayton died in May, and the building was sold."
2 CONT   This sums up his life. Uncle J.C. ( to us) was a fun and caring 
2 CONT person. He worked hard and played hard. He had a boistrous laugh that 
2 CONT could be heard a long way. He never seemed to not be working at 
2 CONT something but his joy of life was unquenchible.

1 NOTE BIO:In 1992 Elizabeth Stayton Walls Oldham, my aunt wrote the following 
2 CONT article in the "Lebanon Enterprise" of Lebanon, Ky.It gives a brief 
2 CONT family history.This is an excerpt containing the Hays family.
2 CONT   "My mother, daughter of Harrison Hays and Bettie Isaacs, homeplace
2 CONT was off the Danville Pike near Penick, Ky.(10 miles southeast of
2 CONT Lebanon, Ky.) My mother's parents are buried in the Haysville Cemetery
2 CONT , as well as many other relatives.I also remember them talking about
2 CONT the Baptist church near Haysville. My grandfather Hays was a Baptist,
2 CONT and attended a church near Logan.He had a brother Thomas Hays who 
2 CONT lived near Haysville. Also a sister Nannie Powers and Bessie Reynolds
2 CONT who lived near Perryville. Grandpa Hays daddy was Nelson Hays. No
2 CONT doubt this is the family from which the Hays community got it's name.
2 CONT Mother has a sister Clella Hays who still lives in Lebanon. Aunt Clell
2 CONT has a son Maurice T. Hays who lives near Lebanon and a daughter who 
2 CONT lives in the old homestead of her grandfather Harmon Hays, on the
2 CONT Short-Line Pike, or thereabout in Marion County.She is Christine Hays
2 CONT Lawson.Another sister, Evalyn Mann resides in Campbellsville,Ky. Other
2 CONT sisters and brothers are deceased, they are Pearl Lawson, Seba White-
2 CONT house,Emmett Hays, Edgar Hays, and Isaac Hays.All three brothers were 
2 CONT also railroaders from brakemen to conductors; however, the three moved
2 CONT to Bloomington and Lafayette, Indiana many years ago.We still have the
2 CONT Hays family reunion on the 4th of July in Marion County.
2 CONT   My grandfather Hays (Harrison) was a rural mail carrier for a short
2 CONT time, but having a large farm of tobacco and corn, as well as 
2 CONT livestock and a fruit orchard and grape arbors, his duties were needed
2 CONT more at home and attending to his tenants and family. Grandma Bettie
2 CONT died young at age 36.
2 CONT   I have so many fond memories of visiting my Grandpa Hays, he had a 
2 CONT large shaded front yard and big front porch. A gate and fence led to a
2 CONT large barnyard. his barn had many stalls for their beautiful horses 
2 CONT and also places for their buggies and carriages, and the harness
2 CONT equipment.
2 CONT   Christmas time was always a happy time there, when I was a young
2 CONT girl, two of my mother's sisters were still at home, Aunt Seba and
2 CONT Aunt Evalyn, they had a beautiful Victrola and records. It was always
2 CONT fun to be entertained by them doing the Charleston. Also as other 
2 CONT cousins, aunts and uncles would come home for the holidays, you
2 CONT really had the feeling of "Home and Hearth." With the glowing fire-
2 CONT place we would gather around for treats that came mostly at
2 CONT Christmas time. There was always a bounty of chocolate drops, orange
2 CONT slices,ribbon candy, peppermint stick candy and the choice of fruit,
2 CONT apples,oranges, and bananas. I can also so vividly remember the 
2 CONT checkers and domino games. We used Coca-Cola wooden crates to set our 
2 CONT games up, but no card games."
