Bio
Husband of Emeline Markham OBITUARY THE CHARITON LEADER Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 6, 1916 MILES PRICE Miles Price was born Oct. 21, 1837, in Catawissa, Columbia county, Penn. He died June 23, 1916, at his home in Russell, Iowa. On January 13, 1862, he was united in marriage to Emeline Markham, of Bardolph, McDonough county, Ill. To this union were born nine children, Cecelia S., William F., Harriet A., Charles S., Ella May, Lu Ida, Asa A., Mabel R., and Walter J. There are also twenty-two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Those living are the wife and four children, Mrs. Harriet A. Conner, of Ottumwa, So. Dak., Charles S., Lu Ida and Asa A., all of Russell, Iowa. These children were all present at his bedside doing all that loving hands could do. When the call was given for volunteers he was among the first to answer his country's call and enlisted in Co. A, 16th Ill. Infantry. He served until the close of the war and received his honorable discharge the 26th of September, 1865. He and his family moved from Illinois to Lucas county, Iowa, in March of 1876, and located on a farm near Russell. He confessed faith in Christ and united with the Christian church in 1882, remaining a consistent member until his death. A kind and loving husband, father and brother, has answered the last call. He was a patient man through all his years of suffering. The funeral services were conducted at the Christian church, Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, and he was laid at final rest in the Russell cemetery, where a host of friends had assembled to show their respect for him and their friendship for the family.
