Dear hose7,

Col. Jonathan Rice Miles (born 17 Nov 1817; died 1 Apr 1903) of the
27th Illinois Infantry was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
That fact is mentioned in a genealogical text:

"Col. Miles lived a retired life for many years (...). He was a
consistent and zealous member of the M.E. church, and loved the
service of his Master."

It might be worth mentioning that his father, Rev. Alexander Miles
(1788-1856) was a deacon in the Methodist Church.
