Biography: Marvin Willard Wiles, son of Mary Elizabeth (nee Cruzen) and Henry G. Wiles, was born in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland. He may have spent some of his childhood in Florence, Alabama, where his father had a business, and reportedly moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1895. "M. W. Wiles" and Lessie J. Hood were married on 19 May 1903 in Davidson County, Tennessee. City directories for Nashville through 1908 show him employed as a clerk or salesman, and beginning in 1909 as a photographer. Marvin Wiles opened a photography studio in Nashville in 1910, and took pictures for local newspapers, covering events such as Woodrow Wilson's inauguration and the return of soldiers from WWI. Marvin Wiles entered a partnership with Steve Hood in 1940, creating the Wiles-Hood Studio, and retired in 1954. The Tennessee State Library and Archives has a collection of 60 photographs taken by Marvin Wiles in and around the Nashville area.
