Lloyd C. Miller was born in Fremont, Michigan in 1916. His family
moved to Tulia, Texas when he was six-weeks old. Lloyd graduated from Tulia
High School in 1934. He received a B.S. Degree in Agriculture at Texas
Technological College in 1938 and went on to get his Masters Degree from the
University of Nebraska in 1940. He married Katherine Mebus in 1941. Lloyd was
employed by the Farm Security Administration as an assistant Farm Manager at
Ropesville, Texas during 1941-1942. In 1948 he moved to Morton, Texas to manage
the C.C. Slaughter Farms, a position he held for 26 years until his retirement.
He also worked as a real estate agent and operated his own agricultural service
managing other properties.
Lloyd served as president of the Cochran County Farm Bureau, and
several terms as a director on the Plains Cotton Growers, Inc. Board of
Directors. He also served as a local director of the High Plains Water
District. After his retirement he served on the Board of Directors for both
Feather Fabric Inc. and also for the Textile Investment Group of Texas.
The collection consists of material generated by Lloyd Miller's
activity in managing the C. C. Slaughter Farms and other farm and ranch
properties, his association with Feather Fabric Inc., Textile Investment Group
of Texas, and Plains Cotton Growers, Inc., and his personal financial papers as
well as miscellaneous information. The types of material include
correspondence, financial records, legal material, maps, and land plats and
soil surveys of the Slaughter holdings in Cochran and Hockley counties. The
oversize material includes plans to remodel the adobe Slaughter headquarters
building that show some details of original construction.
