Nicholas R., son of Oliver O. and Martha Chicadaunce Myles, was born January 30, 1874, and departed from this life at the Paris Hospital January 9, 1949, after a two weeks illness.
He was the eldest of a family of six children.
He was united in marriage to Lillie May Collier on December 16, 1900. Five children came to bless this union. Two infants, Martha Elizabeth and Eugene Lancelot preceded their father in death. He is survived by the widow, one daughter Lucille, now Mrs. C. O. Wilson of Clinton, Indiana, and two sons, Oliver L. of Terre Haute, Indiana, and C. Louis of Marshall, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild, Laura Lee Wilson, also one brother Logan Myles of Marshall and four sisters, Mrs. Anna Bohn, Mrs. Bessie Prevo, Mrs. Laura Bash and Mrs. Nuda Hunt, all of Darwin township.
One grandson, Sgt. John R. Myles was lost in action while on a bombing mission during the late war. This shock greatly affected the health of both his doting grandparents, as he was a great favorite of the entire family.
Mr. Myles seemed as well as usual until December 26, when he took seriously ill, but seemed to be convalescing nicely till January 6, when he became critically ill. He was taken to the Paris Hospital Thursday where everything that human hands could do was done, but to no avail. He passed away at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, January 9.
He knew his time here was short, spoke often of it to the family, and prayed the Lord to come and take him out of his suffering. The family tried to encourage him to live, but he somehow knew the end was near.
He was brave to the end, never uttering one word of complaint, although his suffering was intense.
Mr. Myles never united with any church, but lived a true Christian life as exemplified by the teaching of his master.
No day was too rainy or night too dark for him to answer the call of a relative or friend in distress. Not really able to do his own work, he spent hours doing for others. It can be truly said "To know him was to love him," and the better he was known the more he was loved. Not only his children, but his relatives and friends as well "rise up and call him blessed."
He was a loving husband, kind father and grandfather, a wonderful brother, a good neighbor and friend, and will be sadly missed by all.
When he was taken to the hospital he bade his relatives goodbye. He said he would not be back.
After he was unable to eat, he was still solicitous of others and asked his wife on Thursday morning if she had prepared breakfast for the relatives, who were assisting in his care. Still no thought of self, but always of others.
He loved God's house, was glad to attend church services and his rich tenor voice raised in helping sing the hymns, will long be remembered. The old hymns were his favorites.
