Here’s how Sanford’s ‘most famous horse’ ended up in a local cemetery

Old Bob, a horse that pulled the hearse for T.J. Miller's funeral home in Sanford, Florida, is buried and commemorated with a headstone at Lakeview Cemetery, according to documents at the Sanford Museum. Miller, the city's first undertaker, started his funeral home in 1885, and Bob hauled bodies to the cemetery for more than two decades. His last delivery was on March 16, 1913, after which he retired to the Miller family's orange grove. Bob died in July 1914 at age 37, and The Sanford Herald reported he was buried just outside the cemetery.
