196. William Norris Miles
From History of Randolph County 1920 edition in Moberly MO Library.
William N. Miles, a well known and successful stock dealer and farmer of Jacksonville, is one of the progressive and successful business men of Randolph County. He was born near Atlanta, Macon County Mo., Nov. 6, 1864, and is a son of William A. and Nancy (Daugherty) Miles.
William N. Miles was reared on his father's farm in Macon County and attended school at the old Oak Grove school house, near his home in that county. He remained at home with his father on the farm until he was 22 years old. In 1887 he bought a farm of 120 acres east of Atlanta and engaged in farming and stock raising for himself. In 1898 he moved to Atlanta and worked in a store for E.O. Snow three years and for five years he was engaged in buying and shipping stock there. He then came to Jacksonville and was with O.E. Snow here engaged in the drug business for four and a half years and since that time he has been engaged in buying and shipping stock and also general farming and stock raising and feeding. He owns two farms in Jackson township, one a farm of 100 acres located north of town, which is a well improved farm. He built two silos on this place in 1910 with the capacity of 100 tons each, and they have been filled each year since they were built. One of his barns is designed on the circular plan and is built around the silo. The building is 40 feet in diameter with two wings 20X70 feet, extending from the main building. This is one of the complete and interesting farm buildings of Randolph County. A 93 acre farm owned by Mr. Miles, west of Jacksonville, is a well improved place, and is devoted largely to pasture and feed lots for cattle and hogs, which he handles in connection with his business. He also has a mule barn in Jacksonville, 44X50 feet.
Mr. Miles was one of the organizers of the Jacksonville Savings Bank and is now Vice-president of that institution. He takes a commendable interest in public affairs and has served two years as mayor of Jacksonville, from 1914 to 1916. He has also been a member of the town board for eight years and has been street commissioner of Jacksonville. He was the first to build hard surface walks in Jacksonville and has always taken a keen interest in the betterment and upbuilding of the town.
Mr. Miles was married May 3, 1887, to Miss Clara E. Snow, daughter of Orla and Marilla Snow, natives of Macon County, MO. Mrs. Miles has been her husband's loyal helpmate throughout his career and no small measure of his success is due to her co-operation and assistance.
Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Miles, as follows: Marilla, married A.W. Elliot, a druggist of Jacksonville, and Beulah, married M.A. Carter of Jacksonville. They also raised a boy, Hershel Snow, since he was six days old, his mother having died. He is now 18 years old and graduated from the Moberly High School in the class of 1920.
Mr. Miles is a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Christian Church. He is a Democrat.
