WILLIAM WOODBURN SKILES. SHELBY, OHIO.
WILLIAM WOODBURN SKILES, Congressman Fourteenth District, was born at Stoughtstown, Cumberland County, Pa., December 11, 1849. His parents came to Richland County, Ohio, in 1854, since which time he has resided in Shelby and vicinity.
His early education was obtained in the District Schools, and he afterwards took full college course at Baldwin University, Berea, Ohio. He and his brother, George M. Skiles, were graduated from the above institution in 1876 and began the study of law with the firm of Matson, Dirlam & Lehman, of Mansfield. They were admitted to the bar July 24, 1878, and immediately opened office at Shelby, where they have practiced law under the firm name of Skiles & Skiles since that time.
Previous to his election to represent his district in Congress in 1900 Mr. Skiles had never held any political office other than being President of the Shelby School Board for the last eighteen years. He is prominently connected with financial and manufacturing institutions in Shelby, but has devoted his time entirely to his ' law practice. Though not holding any political office he has for years been active in state politics, at one time serving as a member of the Republican State Central Committee.
Mr. Skiles was married October 3, 1878, to Miss E. Dora Matson, of Shelby, and a son and daughter are the issue of this marriage.
