William Anderson Pile

William Anderson Pile (born February 11, 1829) was a Republican politician who represented Missouri in the United States House of Representatives during the Reconstruction era. He served as the representative for Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, holding office for a single term from March 4, 1867, to March 3, 1869. His tenure placed him among the historical members of Congress who participated in shaping national policy in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War.

Pile’s service in Congress was defined by his role as a Republican representative from Missouri, a border state with complex political and social dynamics during Reconstruction. Although specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and office contact details are not recorded in the available metadata, his inclusion in the official biographical records, under bioguide ID P000350, marks him as part of the broader Republican effort to guide the country through postwar recovery. After his single term concluded in 1869, he left the House of Representatives and is recorded as a former member of Congress.
