Mr. Miles was born June 13, 1829, in Parke County, Ind.  He is the son of Samuel Miles who was a Lieutenant in the war of 1812.  He received a good common-school education and attended the State University at Bloomington, Ind., for the college year of 1848.  In the fall of 1850, he entered the law office of his father-in-law, Col. John Osborn [father of Caroline (Osborn) Miles], as a student.  Col. Osborn was elected Auditor of Clay County, Ind., in the fall of 1852, continuing in office until 1858; during which time, Mr. Miles discharged the duties of that office as Deputy.  Mr. Miles was admitted to practice in the Common Pleas, Circuit and Superior Courts of Indiana, in March, 1859 and continued to practice in that State until 1872, when he had acquired a large and lucrative practice; he then sold out there and spent about a year in visiting the principal cities and State capitals of the West and in July, 1873, he came to Denver, opening a law office the following December, where he has since continued to practice his profession.  Mr. Miles was raised a Whig, going from that to the Republican party and in the fall of 1860, was an associate editor of the Hoosier Patriot, a campaign paper that was largely circulated.  He has avoided politics and given strict attention to the practice of his profession, holding that this was his highest honor.
