Death of an Esteemed Beekeeper. 
We are pained to learn, as we do from 
‘‘Gleanings in Bee Culture” and the 
“American Bee Journal,” of the death 
of Dr. C. C. Miller, the beloved friend 
of all beekeepers. He died on Sep- 
tember 4, 1920, in his ninetieth year, 
after an illness of only five days. 
“Gleanings in Bee Culture” says: 
“There was no dimming of his per- 
sonality during the later years of his 
life. Until the very last he remained 
at his best, ever alert, genial, full of 
enthusiasm, always radiating a great- 
hearted love that embraced all nature 
and all mankind. Dr. Miller’s life was 
one of the richest blessings of the bee- 
keeping world, and his writings will be 
a most prized inheritance for years to 
come.” 
Dr. Miller ideally carried out into 
practice the spirit of The Agassiz Asso- 
ciation. He was always interested in 
teaching some one who did not know. 
DR. C. C. MILLER, AGED NINETY YEARS, DIED AT MARENGO, ILLINOIS, 
SEPTEMBER 4.
