828 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



$259.15. A lot of good blood went out from this sale 

 to the western ranges, Col. Torrey, John Scharbauer 

 and other western men being free buyers. 



On April 25 and 26 Armour, Funkhouser, Dr. Lo- 

 gan and John Sparks sold 115 head at Kansas City 

 at an average of $283.50. Cattle were bought here 

 for several leading range outfits including the Adair 

 and Whitman herds. George Tamblyn gave $1,000 

 for the imported cow Prudence. 



Death of T. L. Miller. Although Mr. Miller's* ex- 

 traordinary personal activities in behalf of the 

 Herefords ceased around 1885, he nevertheless con- 

 tinued to take a deep interest in their success. In 

 his latter years he spent much of his time at De 

 Funiak Springs, Fla., at which place he died on 

 March 15, 1900. His remains were brought to Chi- 

 cago for burial, and he sleeps the long sleep in the 

 sylvan shades of Graceland. He had lived to see his 

 faith in the white-faced cattle shared by a majority 

 of all the cattle-owners on the western range and a 

 tidal wave of prosperity sweeping over the Here- 

 ford-breeding business of the cornbelt. 



At a meeting of the American Hereford Associa- 

 tion held at Chicago in December, 1901, a resolution 

 of respect to his memory was unanimously adopted, 

 in the course of which the following language was 

 employed : 



*In this connection it should be noted that Mr. T. E. Miller, 

 son of the great western promoter of the breed, was for a num- 

 ber of years identified with his father's cattle-breeding opera- 

 tions at Beecher, maintaining at one time a herd of his own. He 

 is now engaged in business in the city of Chicago, and the author 

 hereby acknowledges his indebtedness to him for information sup- 

 plied in connection with various transactions.
