January 9, 1850 - Clell Miller
One of the lesser-known members of the James-Younger Gang, he rode with one of the most notorious outlaw organizations of the post-Civil War American frontier through a period of bank and train robberies across the Midwest. His career ended at Northfield, Minnesota, where a botched bank robbery in September 1876 turned into a running gunfight that effectively broke the gang apart. The Northfield raid remains one of the most studied outlaw defeats of the era, and Miller was among the casualties that day.
From Wikipedia
Clell Miller (1849 or 1850 – September 7, 1876) (also known as Cleland D. Miller or Clenand Miller or McClelland Miller) was an outlaw with the James-Younger Gang who was killed during the gang's robbery at Northfield, Minnesota.
Miller was born on either January 9, 1850 (the date on his tombstone), or December 15, 1849, in Kearney, Missouri. His younger brother Edward T. Miller also joined the gang and was allegedly killed by Jesse James in 1881.
