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...
