MILES, William

Arizona Journal - Miner, Prescott, Arizona Tuesday, February 14, 1911 William Miles Succumbs to Injuries Expires at the Home of Thomas Anderson in Scott's Basin Body is at Maus’ Parlors Being Prepared for Interment William Miles has succumbed to the injuries received a few weeks ago when he was run over by a heavily loaded freight wagon in Scott's Basin, his death occurring Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, at the home of Thomas Anderson. From the beginning it was believed his injuries were fatal, and notwithstanding he apparently showed symptoms of recovering, the last two days of his illness conditions change for the worse, and the end came as expected. His death is regretted, as he was well known and popular. He was reared to manhood in the city, and at all times was industrious, following the vocation of Carpenter. He arrived in Prescott with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Miles, in 1875, and two the day of his death he remained a resident. A set feature of his death is that of a family of 16, there are but three left, Miss Annie Miles and Mrs. W. E. Stone, sisters and a brother, Andrew Miles, all residing in the city. His body was brought by Mr. Anderson to Hillside, under difficulties, owing to the rugged country intervening, and from that place was taken by train to this city, arriving yesterday afternoon, and now at the H. M. Maus parlors. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of all in the fat loss they are burdened with. The funeral will be held Wednesday. Arrangements will be announced later. Transcriber's note: Mr. Miles is buried in the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
