Mrs. Harriet Miles, Pioneer Resident of City, Died April 10

News was received Saturday of the death at New Milford, Connecticut, of Mrs. Harriet E. Miles who would have reached the age of eighty-seven this week. The cause of death was ascribed to the disabilities of her advanced years.

Mrs. Miles, together with her sister, Miss Mary Roberts, who died a month ago, were residents of Appleton for about thirty years. They built and occupied the Dickinson house on Alton Street, going there from Waupaca at the time Mrs. Miles’ two sons, Herbert E. and Rev. Harry R. Miles, who survive her, were about to enter Lawrence College.

Mrs. Miles was widowed for fifty-eight years. Her husband was Henry Miles of Waupaca who was for years associated with R.R. Roberts, a prominent pioneer merchant and father of the deceased.

Besides her two sons, Mrs. Miles is survived by her brother, Charles E. Roberts, of Fairfax, Washington, and by a sister, Mrs. L.J. Perry, of Washington, D.C.

The remains of Mrs. Miles and also of her sister, Miss Roberts, were cremated at Springfield, Mass. Interment will be made in the family lot at Waupaca.
