Stiles, Samuel Edward
Samuel Edward Stiles (August 26, 1844 - October 9, 1901) was a 19th-century historian and medical doctor based in Brooklyn, NY. As a child, Stiles attended Brooklyn Public School No. 11. After graduating from High School, Stiles took a job as a dry goods clerk. In 1864 Stiles was recruited by his elder brother, Dr. Henry Stiles, to work as an Assistant Librarian in the Long Island Historical Society. Working there, Stiles developed a lifelong love of Brooklyn history. In 1867, he compiled his important multi-volume History of Brooklyn. Afterward, Stiles turned his attention to the medical profession, in which he became a prominent Brooklyn doctor and ardent supporter of Homeopathic medicine. Stiles died in 1901 and was survived by seven children.
