E. B. Spiller
MUND BERKELEY
SPILLER, secretary and
general manager of the
Cattle Raisers' Association
of Texas, is one of
G er    the youngest men who
has ever held that position, with its
great importance to the livestock interests
of the State. His choice for
the appointment, which he has held
successively for several terms, is particularly
fitting, his grandfather, J.
C. Loving, having been the first secretary
of the now powerful organization.
As secretary of this organization
he occupies a position that brings
him in close contact with the greatest
cattle interests of thr Southwestern
part of the United States and a
large part of Mexico, the membership
covering all that territory. Since he
succeeded H. E. Crowley as secretary
upon Mr. Crowley's resignation,
his administration has been so satisfactory
that he has been repeatedly
elected his own successor by acclamation.
Mr. Spiller is the son of
George Spiller, Sr., and Mrs. Belle
Loving Spiller. His father came to
Texas from Virginia and his mother
was a native of Lovings Valley, Texas.
Mr. Spiller was born at Jacksboro,
Texas, October 24, 1885, where
he lived until he came to Fort Worth
as assistant secretary of the Cattle
Raisers' Association. July 16, 1908,
he married Miss Frances Wright of
Mansfield, Texas. He is a member
of the Bovinians and the Fort Worth
Club and an ardent baseball fan.
