Miles Newton Anderson was the youngest son of John Sullivan Anderson and Emma Jane Cairl. He left school just 3 weeks before he was to get his 8th grade diploma and secured a job to help his mother out. His father was unable to work. He was very ill. The family had to purchase a lot of medicines to relieve the asthma symptoms his father suffered from. He worked on local farms, for the road crews and in the woods. He later was employed by the Leigh Valley Rail Road for a few years. Next he worked in a tannery, then as a truck driver for Burton Wall taking sprags and props to the mines in the Scranton Area. Later he worked for DeLong's Lumber Co. and came to enjoy doing carpentry work. As a carpenter he worked over a large territory, at times with Everett S. Lane and others.

He was married to Beulah Mae Vandermark on 7 Apr 1920. They were proud of their twelve children.
