BIOGRAPHY

Miles Park Romney was born August 18, 1843 in Nauvoo, Illinois.

He moved to Utah and then served a mission in England.

He was the president of the St. George Social Hall Company and the St. George Dramatic Association. He also served as a chief of police, attorney-at-law, newspaper editor, and architect.

Romney and his three wives (at the time) and various children were sent to settle St. Johns, Arizona.

On April 7, 1885, Romney and his families joined a party leaving Arizona to find land outside the U.S., in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, on which his family could settle, free from fear of his arrest for polygamy.

Miles P. Romney died on February 26, 1904, in Colonia Dublan, Mexico.
