H. H. MILES' MARBLE AND GRAN- ITE WORKS, RACINE, OHIO.
N no other industry is the progress of science and art more clearly marked than in the above mentioned enterprise. The unsightly tombstones, made foreign from art or design, and in no way attractive or beautiful to look upon, and, (in the words of Gray.)
"With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture decked."
marking the graves of our forefathers, was suggestive only of wierd thoughts of decay and mould. But these are now being replaced by beautiful sarcoph- aguses, monuments and tablets, made of varieties of fine marbles and granites, in the latest styles of monumental art and work- manship. As one of the leading establishments of Meigs county the above-named firm merits liberal mention in this Review. It was established many years ago by the present proprietor, who. after hay- ing followed the business for fifteen years, entered the ministry and remained for eight years, but on account of failing health he was compelled to give up the ministry. He has again taken charge of the marble works at Racine, Ohio. At this establish- ment many excellent designs in all kinds of marble and granite, of all qualities and shades, from the world-renowned marble quarries of Vermont and the granite mannfactories of Boston, Massachusetts. which are the largest operators in granite in the United States. These designs can be bought lower than at any works in Meigs or Gallia counties at the granite quarries of Scotland and America. His granite monuments, sareoph- aguses and tablets are manufactured, and his marble sarcophaguses, monn- ments, tablets and headstones are made at, the most extensive works in the United States, and are all made by steam and sand blast power by the Ver- mont Marble Works, which is the largest firm of this kind in the world. They employ 1,000 men and made last year $2,000,000 worth of work. Secretary of War Proctor is president of the company. The forming, carving, tracing and fine high polishing is all done by steam and sand blast power. Mr Miles buys his work 25 per cent. cheaper than can be done by the old way of hand power, by mallet and drove, and the work is far superior in execution. Mr. Miles is a first class engraver and buys the steam and sand blast work ready to engrave, and engraves all his work and erects it in first-class order at the graves him- self. He warrants all his work to stand firmly. Samples of his work may be seen in all the cemeteries of this community, which speak for themselves. Mr. Miles was born in this county in 1840. He is a son of JJ. B. and Mary Miles, who were among the old pioneer families of this section, and who settled on Leading Creek, near Rutland. in Meigs county, Ohio. His parents lived on a farm until he was seven years old, then moved to Pomeroy, Ohio, in 1817, and nine years afterward moved to his present home, Racine, Ohio. Politically ho is a Prohibitionist and believes in voting as he prays. He cast the first Pro- hibition vote at Racine, Ohio. He has a family of nine children, all of whom are living but one. He has many friends in this community and is considered among our most respected citizens. We freely recommend the works of Mr. Miles to all in need of his kind of work. We have seen his works and know whereof we speak. Give him your orders and you will meet fair treatment and get work up to the latest styles and as fine as any in the United States.
