33. My father Pratt's growing up days, told by my mother Ruth
I want to tell about my father, Orson Pratt Miles. He was born September 7, 1891, in St. George, Utah. He lived most of his life in St. George, except for when he was in World War I. He passed away on December 14, 1975, in St. George, and I will tell some about his life for the next 3 days. Our favorite photo of him is at the end of the post on Nov. 20, 2013, just before Thanksgiving, in # 7, Thanksgivings past, and "The Suet Pudding Story". I have already mentioned him in Post # 28, 29th (which was mostly about his mother Paralee, (Pal) whom I was named after. Also he is mentioned in Post # 30, in the story about my mother Ruth's dream.
