Re: [CBQ] Q/TRRA Official

[archie hayden <klinerarch@charter.net>]

John,  I am trying to find a time of death and will let you know if I do.  I have much correspondence from Henry Miller when he was serving as president of the Hannibal Union Depot  circa 1902  to 1909.  As a rule, the different railroads that made up the HUD corp. would lend some of their officials to serve as head of HUD, There were 5 RRs initially and they were CB&Q, H&StJo, StLK&NW, MK&T, and WStL&P.  As you can see the Q had a controling interest in the matter.  Archie

All-

Does anyone have a biographical entry, esp. a date of death for Henry Miller, a Q official back in the _really_ old days, and later head of the TRRA in St. Louis from 1922 through at least 1935? (He's listed as being a guest on the first run of the _Mark Twain Zephyr_ in 1935.
