• Obituary*: "DIED
     "Captain Eugene B. Millet [sic] died at the home of his sister in Los Angeles November 17, 1916. He was born April 25, 1838. At the age of 16 he joined Callahan’s expedition against the Indians in Mexico. After it ended he attended school two years and at the outbreak of the war became Captain of Company B 32^nd Texas Cavalry, and received numerous commendations for acts of exceptional bravery. He then engaged in supplying horses for the use of the farmers in the southern states to help rebuild the south. In 1868 he became one of the largest owners of Texas cattle, driving them to Kansas, Nebraska, and other points. Up to this time everything had gone well with him.
     "He then became a resident of this county and its largest landowner. By unfortunate investments and large loans to many of his old Texas friends, who failed and could not pay him, and generous gifts to his relatives, without other mismanagement upon his own part, he lost his property. Soon afterwards with the zeal and energy and ambition and confidence of a young man he removed to New Mexico and attempted there to regain another fortune. His struggle was pathetic. Alone he struggles to overcome all sorts of obstacles, but his spirit was stronger than his flesh and he several times was discovered helpless and unable to take care of himself. At one time he lay sick in his cabin for over thirty hours without food or attendance and unable to help himself. His constitution had become impaired and he worried at the thought of being defeated in his struggle for a competency and independence.
     "Finally, utterly exhausted and with no power to recover his health, he consented to permit his daughter, Mrs. Russell Bates, to bring him to her husband’s home in this county, where he remained about two years. His health and strength gradually failing him, to avoid the rigors of another winter here, upon the invitation of his sister he went to Los Angeles to spend the winter with her and return next spring. His death was not unexpected. Every one who knew him recognized the sterling qualities of the man and regrets that he was not vouchsafed health to remain longer with us."²¹
• Note*: In 1855 he served about a month as a third sergeant in a Texas Rangers company commanded by Nat Benton that participated in a pursuit of Indians into Mexico.

He is about 6 ft. 2 in., very slim, straight as an Indian, (and it may be added - as black and swarthy as a Commanche), with [sic] piercing eyes, straight black hair, and very dignified in appearance on the street. He is a native cowboy, delights in having it known; a lawyer by profession, somewhat of a politician and an exceedingly shrewd and adroit opponent in debate."¹⁵

He graduated from Bastrop (Texas) Military Institute in 1860, served in the Confederate Army, was a lawyer and district attorney, was elected to the Texas Senate in 1878 for a four-year term, and later served as judge of the 36th Judicial District of Texas for nine months by appointment by Gov. Sayers. He and his brother-in-law, Alonzo Millett, established the Millett and Lane Cattle Company in La Salle County, Texas in 1881, with headquarters at Cibolo Station, Texas, which later became known as Millett, Texas, but he devoted much of his time to practicing law in San Antonio while Alonzo lived at the ranch. A newspaper story about him when he was in his mid-forties described him as "about 6 ft. 2 in., very slim, straight as an Indian (and it might be added as black and swarthy as a Comanche), with piercing eyes, straight black hair, and very dignified in appearance on the street."

Judge Lane died of a ruptured appendix at the Laurafield Ranch near Millett. From his obituary in the San Antonio Semi-weekly Express: "Col. Lane was a gentleman of the old school—a man of splendid prensence [sic], reserved manner and dignified bearing, but courteous at all times. He was positive in his convictions and stern in his judgements [sic], but withal exercised a broad liberality toward the opinions of others. Generosity was a part of his nature, and devotion to his friends a dominant characteristic. As a lawyer he had a [sic] few superiors. His knowledge of the principles of jurisprudence was accurate and his mind was trained in the stern logic of the law. His client's causes became his own, an [sic] though fair in debate there was a zeal thrown into his work which accounted for much of the distinction at the bar which he enjoyed." From his obituary in the Dallas Morning News: "[He was] one of the most noted criminal land lawyers of Texas . . . [and] was in some of the most noted law cases of the Southwest . . . He was a man of culture and was highly esteemed."^{16,15,17,18,11}

After the war he and brothers Eugene and Hiram ranched in Guadalupe County, Texas, then in Baylor County, then in Kansas, and in La Salle County, Texas. Their brother-in-law, Ellsberry Richard Lane, joined them in a ranching endeavor in northern La Salle County in 1881 that by 1884 had grown to 125,000 acres and employed sixty cowboys. The ranch's railroad stop, originally known as Cibolo Station, evolved into the town of Millett, and Alonzo was the first postmaster, serving from 1888 to 1901. He was living in Denver, Colorado in 1905 and died on his Colorado ranch in a fall from a horse.
  A visitor to the cemetery in October 2012 was unable to find a grave marker for him.
  His Find A Grave memorial says he was born in 1845 in Bastrop County, Texas.^{23,24,25,26,27}
