He died March 26, 1923, at 101 Phipps Avenue, Rice Lake, Barron County, Wisconsin, aged 78 years, 11 months and 8 days, and was buried there in Nora Cemetery. His military style gravestone is inscribed "Miles Schoolcraft Co. H. 32 Wis Inf. 1844 - 1923." He had one known brother, Emery A. Schoolcraft, who lived in Maxwell, Nebraska.
On March 10, 1865, Miles was united in marriage to Harriett (Hattie) Ackerman, by Reverend J. T. Woodhead, at Fond Du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, in a ceremony witnessed by Mr. H. Fargo, Miss A. Schoolcraft, Mr. A. Rogue, Mr. H. Warren, Mr. H. Hamilton, and Miss T. Hamilton. Harriett was born February 28, 1847, in Scroon Lake, Essex County, New York, daughter of Henry Ackerman and Clarinda Brown, died April 18, 1925, aged 78 years, 1 month and 20 days, and is buried beside her husband in Nora Cemetery. Her gravestone is inscribed "His Wife Hattie 1847 - 1925." At the time of their marriage, Miles was a carpenter, residing at Fond du Lac. They were childless.
Harriett was related in some manner to Joel R. Ackerman, born July 28, 1837, in Schron, Essex County, New York. Joel was a Civil War veteran, having served in Company E of the 17th Wisconsin Infantry. He died June 13, 1917, at Horseman, Barron County, Wisconsin, and was buried there in Cedar Lake Cemetery.
Miles was a Civil War veteran having enlisted August 21, 1862, at Fond du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, to serve three years as a Private in the 32nd Wisconsin Infantry. On September 25, he was mustered into Federal service with Company H at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. At that time he received $25.00 of his $100.00 enlistment bounty, and was listed as an 18 year old, 5''7" tall carpenter, with light hair, blue eyes and a light complexion, born in Schohaire County, New York. Since Miles was considered a minor it was necessary for his father, Ira Schoolcraft, to give his consent, which he did with the following statement on Miles's enlistment papers:
I Ira School Craft do certify, that I am the father of Miles School Craft, that the said Miles School Craft is eighteen years of age, and I do hereby freely give my consent to his Volunteering as a Soldier in the Army of the United States for the period of
Three Years.
On the muster roll of Nov/Dec., 1862, it was noted that Miles was left at La Grange in charge of Q. M. stores. On August 30, 1864, he was captured at Chattahoochie River, Georgia, and remained in the hands of the enemy for three months and thirteen days. On December 13, 1864, he was paroled at Charleston, South Carolina, and six days later on December 19, 1864, reported to Camp Parole, Annapolis, Maryland. On the Detachment muster roll of Jan/Feb., 1865, of Camp Parole near Annapolis, Maryland, it was noted that he was absent on furlough. Prisoner in hands of enemy from Sept. 1, 1864 to Dec. 1864. In Harvey General Hospital, Madison, Wisconsin.
Miles's compiled service record at the National Archives contains five letters written by a physician in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, while Miles was on furlough, in which he described Miles as to sick to travel and requesting extensions of his furlough. As a result his furlough was extended to May 18, 1865, after which he apparently reported to Harvey General Hospital at Madison, Wisconsin.
On June 5, 1865, Miles was mustered out of Federal service at Madison, Wisconsin. On the Individual Muster Out Roll it was noted that he was due $75.00 of his enlistment bounty.
After his discharge, Miles returned to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where he resided for twenty-one years. In 1886, he moved to Greeley Center, Nebraska, where he resided for five years. In 1890, he moved to Rice Lake, Barron County, Wisconsin, where he lived out the rest of his days.
On March 17, 1880, Miles filed Application No. 367,152, for an Invalid Veteran's Pension, which was approved under Certificate No. 736,479. On April 9, 1923, Nattie Schoolcraft filed Application No. 1,203,807, for a Widow's Pension, which was approved under Certificate No. 936,216.
