ELECTED POSITION/Estero, Florida: 1 Sep 1904; Elum C. Miles, Council Member
PHONE CONVERATION: On April 12, 2005 I spoke with Mrs. Marjorie Miles, 316 15th Avenue South, Nampa, Idaho who was seeking information on Elum Miles. She told me that she has pension papers -- Civil War Pension request which has Annie Orway Graves signature on it. So, he apparently went with Annie when they broke off from the Unity. She said his son was George Clark Miles and his son was Harold C. Miles, her husband. She also said Elum wandered all over the US and that she found him in Ohio in the 1850 census.
I searched the 1870 and 1880 census records and found Elum in Iowa in 1870 and Los Angeles in 1880. See sources for more informtion. [mlw]
April 26, 2005 -- Received in the mail, some information about Elum, including a photocopy of a photo, circa 1880 See folder for more...

Individual Note: THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Alice Miller.
FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready; Alice Miller: "Alice and Jeannie were sisters. While they were still "outside Koreshans" in Chicago, there was a pageant depicting the battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War, and it could be seen free from the long porch of the Miller's apartment so they invited Unity members to be their guests, including Lovelle and me."
The Flaming Sword, Community Current Events, April 1933, p. 13: "Our readers
will learn with sincere regret of the passing of Mrs. Alice M. Fox Miller on March 12 at her home in St. Petersburg after a protracted illness. Mrs. Miller was one of the early converts to the cause of Koreshanity and had been associated with the movement for about forty-five years. She was secretary of the Society Arch-Triumphant after it was organized in Chicago, and later was a contributor to the "The Flaming Sword" before the Northern division came to Estero. She resumed contributing to "The Sword" over a year ago, despite her impaired health. The excellence of her contributions was attested to by written and spoken expressions of our readers. Mrs. Miller is survived by two sons and their families, and also a sister, Mrs. Jeannie Miller, a resident of the Unity."
