R H Spiller Fate Reflects Long Texas Ranching Career
R H Spiller, long prominent in McCulloch Menard and Kimble counties, built a 3000 acre ranch in 1903 that grew to 10000 acres. He held posts as sheriff tax collector and precinct commissioner and was noted for calm careful public service. He was a church member and bank stockholder with diverse ranching and merchandising interests. About 90 percent of America’s tin supply was cut off after Japan seized Malaya and Dutch East Indies.
