His parents were Justin M. Ames and Annie H. Chaffee, the granddaughter of Col. Thomas Knowlton, a distinguished hero of the revolution, and who sacrificed his life at the battle of Harlem Heights. Young Miner was brought up on his parents' farm. His education was acquired in the district school. Hearing and reading of the glorious opportunities of the great West, he, at the age of seventeen, resolved to enter life's battle on his own account. He made the journey of over a thousand miles and came to Ohio, expecting to find it the Eldorado; but the financial panic of 1857 found him in a sad plight. He took a position with the C. Z. & C. railway company, where he remained for five years, serving faithfully and acceptably to the company. He arrived in Chicago on September 8, 1862, where he found himself a stranger in a strange city; with what determination he conquered discouraging vicissitudes is shown by his after career. In 1866 he engaged in the coal business, and before many years had elapsed he was rated as one of the leading coal merchants of Chicago. His mines at Minonk were of inestimable value, which, together with the tile works, embraced the main business of the little city. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
