ALVIN C PILE was born July 10, 1845, in Fentress County, Tenn., where he 
resided until seventeen years of age, and in 1862 removed to Owen 
County, Ind. He was a member of Company I, One Hundred and Forty-eighth 
Indiana Volunteer Infantry, with which he served for over a year during 
the late war.  His father, William Pile, was born March 12, 1810, also 
in Fentress County, Tenn., where he died in October, 1877.  He was a son 
of Conrad Pile, who was born about 1773, in Virginia, and was of German 
descent.  William Pile was twice married; first, in 1832, to Narcissa, 
daughter of Thomas and Priscilla (Evins) Sibins, of Fentress County, 
Tenn.  From this union sprang Thomas, Daniel (deceased), George, 
Priscilla (Johnson), Martha (Cooper), Mary (Anderson), Vina (Sibins), 
Elizabeth (Meadows), Adelphia and Alvin C.  His second marriage took 
place, in 1860, with Mary, daughter of Joseph Davidson. To them were 
born Jasper and Altie.  Alvin C. married, January 2, 1868, Minerva A., 
daughter of John and Julia (Ferguson) Payne, of Monroe County.  To them 
have been born Lindsey T., George V., Older (deceased) and Alonzo 
(deceased).  Mr. Pile started even in the race of life, but by industry 
and perseverence has become the owner of a well improved and productive 
farm of 537 acres in a fine state of cultivation, and has one of the 
best houses in the district.  He commenced life as a farmer and stock 
trader, and is the owner, in connection with his farm, of a good 
sistillery on Hacker's branch. He is a member of the Baptist Church, and 
in politics an unswerving Democrat.
