Charles William Miles III ’33

Toddy Miles died July 5, 1996. He was 85. He was a lifelong and enthusiastic resident of Union City, Tenn.

He came to Princeton from Mercersburg, was a member of Cloister, and is remembered by many of his classmates for his wonderful stories about his hometown. After college, he earned his law degree at Penn and returned to Union City to practice law with his father in the firm of Miles and Miles.

Toddy served in the Navy JAG during the war in Washington and in the Pacific. He married Mary Whayne Turk in 1950.

Toddy used to say that he would always be a lawyer. He continued to go to the office, if just to "putter around" as long as he was able to do so. He had been active in the Tennessee Bar Assn. and in many community organizations.

He was interested in sports, particularly golf and had been city champion three times. He attended every Indianapolis 500 from 1937-93 except for the years he was in the service.

All in all, Toddy led a full and happy life. He is survived by his wife, by his two daughters, Mary V. Prince and Stella Anderson, by his son, John M., and by four grandchildren, to all of whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
