ALEXANDER MILES
Alexander Miles (May 18, 1838 – May 7, 1918) was an African American inventor and businessman, known for being awarded a patent for automatically opening and closing elevator doors. He was awarded U.S. patent 371,207 on October 11, 1887.
Alexander Miles was born on May 18, 1838 Pickaway County, Ohio,[1] the son of Michael and Mary Miles.[2] He was African-American. Miles may have resided in the nearby town of Chillicothe, Ohio,[3] but subsequently moved to Waukesha, Wisconsin, where he earned a living as a barber.[4] After a move to Winona, Minnesota, he met and married Mrs. Candace J. (Shedd) Dunlap, of La Porte, Indiana,[5] a widow with two children, who was four years his senior and a native of New York.[6] Together they had a daughter, born in 1876, named Grace. It is believed by some that Alexander got the idea for his elevator door mechanism after Grace accidentally fell down a shaft, almost ending her life.[7] Shortly after her birth, the family relocated to Duluth, Minnesota.[8] Here, Alexander became the first Black member of the Duluth Chamber of Commerce and operated a barber shop out of the St. Louis Hotel.[
The family moved to Montgomery, Alabama by 1889, where Miles was listed in the city directories as a laborer.[11] In 1899, he moved to Chicago where he founded The United Brotherhood as a life insurance company that would insure black people, who were often denied coverage at that time.[12] Around 1903, they moved again, to Seattle, Washington, where he worked in a hotel as a barber.[13]
Miles died in 1918, and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007
