Capt. Eugene Bartlett Millett

M, ID# 1741, b. 25 April 1838, d. 18 November 1916

Eugene Bartlett Millett, ca. 1878.

  • 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 32nd 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. In the Civil War he served in Company B, 32nd Regiment, Texas Cavalry. After the war he joined brothers Alonzo and Hiram in ranching in Texas and Kansas, and his Idaville Ranch in Ellsworth County, Kansas had about 18,000 acres under fence, one of the largest in the county. In 1903 he was living in Pomona, Kansas and described himself as a livestock dealer weighing about 160 pounds and being about five feet and seven inches tall. He was living in Laguna, New Mexico in 1913. In 1915 he appeared to be living at Kanapolis, Kansas, apart from his wife, who lived in Kansas City and whom he described as being "devoted to Mrs. Eddy's cult," presumably referring to Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science.22,8,23
  • Scrapbook*: • His description from his pension file: Height is 5 ft. 8 1/4 in; weight is 160; eyes are blue; hair is dark; complexion is dark; has knot on right shoulder.
    • "Capt. Eugene Millett of Austin, is the cattle king of Texas. He has some fifteen thousand head of stock cattle on his ranch in Baylor county, and many thousands on the trail."
    • "BURIAL IN KANSAS.
       The remains of Eugene Bartlett Millett, born at Houston, Tex. [sic], in 1837, a veteran of the Confederate army and for many years a cattleman, who died here the 18th inst., will be interred at Ellsworth, Kan., where Mr. Millett formerly resided. He was a descendant of Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence [sic]. At the outbreak of the Civil War he raised Co. B, Thirty-second Texas Infantry, and served through the struggle as a captain."
    • "Confederate soldier to be honored
       "ELLSWORTH—Civil War veteran Capt. Eugene Bartlett Millett will be honored Saturday at the Ellsworth Cemetery.
       "A confederate soldier, Millett was a recognized cattleman drover in the 1870s and 1880s who died in 1916.
       "The ceremony starts at 1 p.m. Saturday at the old circle cemetery near the Smoky Hill River. The public is invited.
       "Participants are requested to dress in period clothing, but the event is for everyone. Several re-enactor groups will represent Confederate and Yankee soldiers and Texas cowboys.
       "A period casket will represent Millett, a founder of the American cattle industry. Several groups are sponsoring the service: United Daughters of Confederate Veterans, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and the C.O.W.B.O.Y. Society.
       "At 2 p.m. the Drovers Mercantile will sponsor a social. The Sons of the Confederate Veterans will have a computer set up to research confederate ancestors."24,25,26,27

Col. Ellsberry Richard Lane

M, ID# 1743, b. 6 July 1840, d. 18 August 1904
  • Scrapbook*: "Ex-senatory Lane [sic], of San Antonio, of the firm of Lane and Millett was a conspicuous figure in the Austin Cattle Convention. 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
  • Note*: He moved with his father to Missouri and then, in 1852, to Goliad, Texas. 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." It continued: "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." 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

Capt. Alonzo Millett

M, ID# 1744, b. November 1842, d. 25 February 1907

Alonzo Millett, from The Trail Drivers of Texas, 2nd ed.
  • Scrapbook*: • "Alonzo Millett, the cattle king of Kansas, is down from his 50,000 acre ranch in Ellsworth county . . . ."
    • "Alonzo Millett of San Antonio Has Petitioned for Bankruptcy.
       "San Antonio, Texas, October 1 [1901].—Alonzo Millett, a stockman of this city, today filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the Federal court; his liabilities are money borrowed on unsecured notes amounting to $119,049.57, with assets to the amount of $3305, although the greater portion of the latter sum is exempt under the law. William Hurst, George F. Block, August Klehne and J. W. Wiley, composing a firm in Kansas City, are creditors of the petitioner to the amount of $79,049.57, the money being borrowed of them on twenty notes dated during the months of February, March and April of 1899 and bearing 10 percent interest. W. T. Caeser of New York City is a creditor for $40,000, having loaned that amount on a note dated July 2, 1880, and bearing 6 per cent interest. The latter, principal and interest, is credited with a payment of $32,500, executed on January 5, 1897.”.20,21
  • Obituary*: "CAPTAIN ALONZO MILLETT KILLED BY FALL FROM HORSE
       "Captain Alonzo Millett was killed on his ranch in Colorado last Monday by a fall from his horse.
       "The captain was for many years a citizen and large ranch owner of La Salle county. the town of Millett was named for him.
       "The remains were shipped to San Antonio where they were intered [sic].
       "The Captain was 63 years old and a confederate veteran."22
  • Note*: He was Leonidas's twin and was reared in Seguin, Texas. He served in the Confederate Army, reaching the rank of captain, having enlisted at Seguin on 20 Mar 1862 and having been paroled at San Antonio, Texas, on 30 Aug 1865. 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

       "The First State Bank closed its doors at 2 o’clock this afternoon out of respect to the memory of Mrs. S. R. Frost, who was buried at 3:30 Monday afternoon. Mrs. Frost was the mother of Mrs. George E. Jester, Mr. Jester being president of the First State Bank.
       "The firm of Boynton and Calkins, Ford dealers, was also closed out of respect to the memory of Mrs. Frost, she being the mother-in-law of Mr. R. L. Calkins of this firm."25
  • Obituary*: "MRS. FROST PASSED AWAY AT HER HOME HERE SUN. MORNING
       "WAS WIDOW OF LATE JUDGE SAM R. FROST—GREATLY BELOVED
       "Mrs. Mary L. Frost, aged 72 years, widow of the late Judge Sam R. Frost and daughter of Col. C. M. Winkler, a noted Texas jurist and soldier, passed away at 10:15 yesterday morning after an illness of more than a year, and the funeral took place at 3:30 this afternoon with services conducted by her pastor, Rev. E. W. Potter, of the First Methodist church, and her six sons-in-law, Col. A. N. Justiss, Max D. Almond, Guy M. Gibson, Geo. E. Jester, R. L. Calkins and A. D. Kneale, acting as pallbearers.
       "An immense throng attended the funeral and there was a great profusion of beautiful flowers.
       "The deceased is survived by nine children, Mrs. A. N. Justiss, Mrs. Geo. E. Jester, Mrs. Max D. Almond, Mrs. Guy M. Gibson, Mrs. R. L. Calkins, Mrs. A. D. Kneale, Roger Frost, Clinton Frost and Barry Frost, and by two sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Kate Mooring of Corsicana, Miss Mira Winkler of El Paso, C. M. Winkler of Fort Worth, Walton Winkler of El Paso, and Tom Winkler of Waco.
       "Nineteen grand children also survive.
       "The deceased was reared and married in Corsicana. She was the daughter of Judge C. M. Winkler, a noted Confederate soldier and Texas jurist, who was a member of the Texas Supreme Court at the time of his death. The deceased was a woman of many notable characteristics of mind and heart. Possessed of a naturally retiring and home-loving nature, she was yet a woman of a fine and highly cultivated mind and kept abreast of all that was good for her country and home. Her great and noble life was spent in the training and rearing of her large family, and they, although grown to manhood and womanhood, will yet miss her wise counsel and noble motherly admonition.
       "The community in which she herself was reared and in which she reared her large family, recognized in her one of the town’s noblest and best women, and her memory, like those of her distinguished father and husband, will live and be honored as long as time lasts with all who knew her, and her many beautiful and lovable attributes of true womanly character will be a sacred heritage to Corsicana and all its people."26
  • Note*: The funeral home record gives 62 as her age at death (even though it also gives 5 Jul 1853 as her birth date and 10 May 1925 as her death date, making her age 71) and gives S. Smith of Alabama as her mother.9
