He farme d a place plus a portion of ground that belonged to the Northwes ter n Mutual Life Insurance Co. and formerly belonging to Wallace Dunkin . My Gr andfather purchased the Dunkin place about 1890 or 1891. H e (Miles) later move d to Southwest Cataract. He was pretty much o f a trader and had owned a number of places in that vicinity. Whe n I was a small child, he used to drive a one- horse hack up to visi t his son, Curt and family, who lived south of Wallace Jun ction. H e enjoyed going to the Quincy picnic and was always the first one t o g o from his neighborhood. I remember going to visit him and his wi fe with my gr andparents at his home just a few weeks before his death . They lived in a larg e two-story log house that faced north. I wa s impressed by his long flowing wh ite beard that came almost to his w aist. He was bedfast then." In a newspaper article dated July 13, 1 922 the headline read, "Octogenarian Celebration".
