Although young in years he stands as one of the most enterprising factors in the city development, Mr. Pile is a native son of the state, his birth having occurred in Memphis, Missouri, July 2, 1880. Glancing over his ancestral history it is discovered that his forebears on both the paternal and maternal sides were Scotch, and the history of both families is alike in that both located in Kentucky in the pioneer days in the Blue Grass state. The subject's father, Thomas M., was a native of the state of Missouri, to which his father came from Kentucky. He was a farmer and is now living retired at Memphis, Missouri. The mother, Arabella Jenkins, was born in this state, and she and her husband were the parents of eight children.
