MILEY ADSIT.  The biographies of the representative men of a county bring to 
light many hidden treasures of mind, character and courage, well calculated to 
arouse the pride of their family and of the community and it is a source of 
regret that the people are not more familiar with the personal history of such 
men, in the ranks of whom may be found tillers of the soil, mechanics, 
teachers, professional men, business men and those of varied vocations.  Miley 
ADSIT is one of the creditable representatives of the agricultural element in 
Walworth county and as such has made his influence felt in Troy township and 
earned a name for enterprise, integrity and honor.
 
Mr. ADSIT was born at Palmyra, Jefferson county, Wisconsin, September 12, 
1870.  He is the son of Milo and Sarah (CURTIS) ADSIT, both natives of Ontario 
county, New York, the father born in 1829.  There they grew up and were 
married, and emigrated to Jefferson county, Wisconsin, in the fifties, 
locating on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres and there they developed a 
good farm and the mother is still living at the old home, the father having 
died on July 12, 1895.  They were the parents of seven children, five sons and 
one daughter.  Politically, Milo ADSIT was a Democrat early in life, but later 
turned Prohibitionist.  He was a member of the Methodist church.
 
The son of Miley, of this review, was reared on the home farm where he worked 
when a boy and he attended the district schools during the winter months.  He 
came to Walworth county in 1894 and in 1900 bought the farm of ninety-four 
acres in Troy township where he has carried on general faring and stock 
raising in a very successful manner.  He has made most of the improvements on 
his place.  In politics he is a Republican and he is at this writing treasurer 
of the school board in his district, taking quite an interest in educational 
affairs  Religiously, he belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church.
 
On May 10, 1894, Mr. ADSIT was united in marriage with Ida LUEBKE, a native of 
Michigan, and the daughter of Fred and Lydian LUEBKE.  The mother is deceased, 
but Mr. LUEBKE is living in Milwaukee.  Nine children have been born to Mr. 
and Mrs. ADSIT two of whom died in infancy.  Those living are: Lloyd, Lena, 
Lydia, Lawrence, Ruth, Rubie and Howard.
