On May 6, 1936, the New York Times ran the following obituary: "(Excelsior Springs, Missouri May 5) Milo Reno of Des Moines who led the discontented farmers of the Midwest as President of the National Farmers Holiday Assoc. died at a hotel here today of a heart attack. He was 70 years old. His secretary, Mrs. Christine Hussy of Des Moines, Iowa, was the only one with him when he died. His widow and daughter survive. Had been a preacher, farmer, and for 9 years president of the Iowa Farmers Union." According to his wife, Christina, the talks he gave were more in the nature of sermons than of speeches, though unfriendly observers contended that his abilities to quote Scripture and to swear were about equal. Milo Worth Reno was the president of the Iowa Farmer's Union and organized farmers to get better prices for their crops. It is said that Milo was in San Francisco in 1898 where he sold supplies to prospectors going to the Alaska gold fields. There is a book on Milo Reno in the Library of Congress, Call No. HD1485.F34W5. There is also a book by Ronald A. White entitled "Milo Reno: Farmer Union Pioneer."
