Notes for Virgil Leland Miles: A Tribute to Virgil and Pauline Miles by Vera A. Miles I remember Virgil and Pauline. He was a good all around carpenter and so was his brother, my husband, Orville. He was careful and precise making everything fit properly. The kitchen he built upstairs in one house was a housewife's dream. Pauline was a wonderful cook. She was fast and could fix a meal while you were thinking of it. They were good people. "Their children rise up and call her Blessed." Proverbs 31:28 One morning while we were visiting we arrived at church one hour early. We forgot to change to Daylight Saving Time. They took me to Silver Dollar City. We walked around the place and saw the sights. We will miss them, but will be rejoicing in Heaven when we all get there. ************************************************************************** Beverly Babb Horttor remembers fun times at the farm. It was the first time I ever felt the rough tongue of a calf sucking on my fingers. I also remember watching the cows being milked. There were usually some cows that had won fair ribbons. We have a picture of Vera and I holding Uncle Virgil's ears while he was holding us. We thought he was fun to be around. I also remember eating at the restaurant they owned. Sometimes Marilynn or Betty would cut our hair. |

Notes for Bertha Edith Miles: Granddaughter, Amy Jo, wrote a story about her grandmother and it is with the picture section of this book. Beverly Babb Horttor had a nice visit the last time I remember seeing her. She came to OR to visit. Dad was going to the Portland airport to go see his brother, Conley, who was very ill. Mom, Aunt Bertha and I saw him off then left for the OR Coast. While there we decided to take Aunt Bertha to WA so she could say she had been in that state. I called David and said we would be gone over night. We drove to WA and found a motel right on the beach. We took a walk on the beach and when we got back to the car I had locked the keys inside. We had to break the wing window as no place was open that could help us. A man in the area tried, but suggested breaking the window then used a hanger to reach the lock. We had to be careful to not step or sit on broken glass. We drove back to Central WA along the Columbia River then crossed and came back to Madras from The Dalles. It was a very nice trip. We took time to stop and look at wild flowers, wade in the rivers, walk on the beach and just relax. |
| 260 | iv. | Laila Ermon Miles, born May 10, 1907 in Carroll Co., MO. She married (1) Maurice Earnest Babb February 01, 1936 in Tucson, Pima Co, AZ; born January 03, 1912 in Siloam Springs, Benton Co. AR; died October 27, 1984 in Metolius, Jefferson Co. OR.

Notes for Laila Ermon Miles: Laila loves being with her family. The children always enjoy measuring against 4'11' Laila. She did work for Woolworths for a few years and was a telephone operator while in MO and Myrtle Creek. She worked hard cooking, cleaning and making a good home for the family. Sometimes she had to do laundry with a wash board and tub. From the time she was very young, Laila liked playing the piano. She said no one ever had to make her practice. She was active in the Methodist Church in Myrtle Creek, OR, teaching Sunday School, Pres. of Women's Society, sang in choir, and served in other areas. She has been a Methodist all of her life. She has crocheted, knitted, traveled with family. She started doing genealogy after Maurice retired and wrote her life story. |

Notes for Maurice Earnest Babb: Maurice Babb grew up in Siloam Springs, AR, where he was born. He finished the 8th grade, but became a self-educated man. He worked in service stations after leaving the farm. He went to Tucson, AZ, where his brother, Ed, had gone. There he went to work for the Southern Pacific Railroad and worked for them until he broke his back. He moved his family to AR and bought a service station with his brother Conley on the AR-OK state line near Siloam Springs. It was a short distance to the farm where his parents lived and he wanted to be close enough to help them. He was not able to earn a living for the family so after learning from Jim McGlothlin, his sister Berniece's husband, that there was work in Myrtle Creek, OR, he moved his family to OR after he worked enough to pay for the trip. (He lived in OR a couple of months while the rest of the family stayed in Tucson, AZ, until he was sure he was going to stay in OR.) He worked as a maintenance man, welder, and did other jobs in the plywood mill then in 1965 when the mill went on strike he moved to Madras, OR, and went to work for the school district as a custodian. He was offered a job with Indian Health Service at Warm Springs to be maintenance man at the clinic. He worked there until he retired. Maurice liked to hunt and fish. He also bowled on a league. He wrote his life story after he retired. |

Notes for William Orville Miles: He went by Orville. He was very good at leading songs in church. He was also a very good carpenter. His daughter, Liz, has a table he made with many kinds of wood. It has two lazy susans. He built houses, too. He had a good sense of humor and I remember him laughing and joking. He would let us help with some of the building when he was adding a room to Grandmother's house. Story by Beverly Babb Horttor, a niece |

Notes for Melvin Spencer Miles: My first memories of Uncle Spencer would be delivering milk in glass bottles for Shamrock Dairy in Tucson. I remember when he broke his legs falling from a scaffold while putting up signs on bill boards.....another job he did. While recovering he liked to teach the kids around the house how to play cards. Grandmother was not very happy about us learning to play cards as was not appropriate to her religious beliefs. Later he started to travel, mostly hitch-hiking I think. Sometimes we did not hear from him for a couple of years. He picked fruit and visited relatives in MO and MT. He settled in Globe, AZ, with his sister Bertha and helped her with Ruth's two children, T.J. and Kelly. He enjoyed our family reunions and sang to us at one. He could recite from memory all the birthdays of his siblings children. After he had congestive heart failure his son was located and he went to spend the rest of his life in Eureka, CA, with Spencer Lelan and wife, Kathy. written by niece, Beverly Horttor |

Notes for Carlos Herman Miles: Carlos worked as a Bill Poster for 44 years. He worked for Foster and Kleiser, which later became Eller Outdoor Advertising, while residing in Arizona and Pacific Outdoor Advertising while in CA.

He was talented in carpentry, which he learned from his father. He loved to travel and was able to visit many beautiful places in the United States and other parts of the world. His only regret was that he never made it to Switzerland, but was delighted when he received a postcard from a friend who was visiting there. Another pleasure was visiting with family and sharing stories about things that happened to different family members as they were growing up. He had a great sense of humor and loved a good laugh. Carlos passed away in 1997 with heart problems at age 83. |
