Opened Up Three Additions Before Retirement

Thomas M. Milam, 65 years old, prominent real estate dealer here, died Saturday of stomach cancer at the home of his nephew, Martin Milam, attorney, 511 Northeast Eighth street. He had been in ill health since before his retirement in 1934.

Milam was best known here as the developer of Milam Northwest Highland, Milam Place, and Capitol Courts additions. During his real estate activity here he built about 209 small homes.

Born in Tate county, Miss., he came to Oklahoma City about 1900 and was associated with Draughan business college. In 1907 he established the Oklahoma City Business college, which he operated about 10 years.

His first big venture in real estate was during the boom of 1909 when he bought and subdivided Milam Northwest Highland addition.

His next major participation in Oklahoma City real estate was in 1921 when he subdivided Milam Place and Capitol Courts additions. He remained in the real estate business until forced by ill health to retire in 1934.

He lived west of Belle Isle lake until the death of his wife last year, and then went to live with his nephew, Martin Milam.

He was a member of the First Christian church and the Elks lodge.

Survivors include his mother, Mrs. Alice Milam, 2822 Classen boulevard: one sister, Mrs. Sam Davis, Acme, Texas, and two brothers, E. C. Milam, 2601 West Reno avenue, and Joseph J. Milam, Abilene, Texas.
