The second son of Benjamin Anderson and Euphemia (Braden) Miers, "Cass" was born on his father's farm in Washington Township, Decatur Co., IN. He married Hester Ann Roberts about 1868, the couple living for some years in Lexington, Scott Co., IN.

By 1900 "Cass" had returned to assist his father with the family farm. Subsequently, he and his wife occupied and managed a farm in Sand Creek Township of that county, his father having become a part of that household. The Mires lived the remainder of their lives in that place.

"Cass" and Hester were blessed with eight children, three daughters (Euphemia "Famie", Ella, and Cassandra "Cassie") and four sons (William E., Frank, Frederick and Mark), plus an infant who died young.

The surname of this Miers son, is inconsistent throughout records that involve "Cass". Myers, Miers, and Mires all appear in census and other documents. His parentage, however, is easily proven.
