Mrs. Mahettable Miles, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Casterline was born in Hartford City, Indiana, May 26, 1842 and passed away June 3, 1941 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lottie M. Caron of Topeka, at the age of 99 years and 7 days.
She was united in marriage to Mr. David Franklin Miles, December 24, 1863. To them were born eight children, 3 of whom survive, Mrs. Cora Conlin, Oneida, Kansas; Mrs. Lottie Caron, Topeka, Kansas and Mr. Alvah O. Miles of Alnea, Arkansas, the other five preceding her in death.
Besides her children, she leaves to mourn, fifteen grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and numerous other relatives and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Miles came to Kansas, the year of 1872 with the early pioneers, settling near Marysville. After living in Kansas a short time, they moved to Nebraska, where Mr. Miles built the first building erected in Wymore, during the building of the Burlington Railway. From Nebraska they returned to Kansas where she has since resided, having
lived in Onaga and Topeka since 1900.
Mr. Miles preceded Mrs. Miles in death forty-one years ago.
In early life Mrs. Miles became a member of the Congregational Church and always was an active member when her health permitted. She was a good Christian and took part in all Sunday School and Church activities until in later years, her hearing would not permit her to attend any longer.
Mrs. Miles has made her home in Topeka with her daughter since the fall of 1937 and has enjoyed good health until October of 1940 when she was taken to her bed and has never been able to be up and around since that time. She has been a patient sufferer and was devoted to all her family, trying so hard not to be of any trouble to her loved ones.
The funeral was in charge of Dr. T. C. Hinkle at the Congregational Church Thursday afternoon and burial was in the Onaga Cemetery.
