H. Teller Archibald, 56, Prominent race horse owner and known in Chicago and Miami as the "candy king", died yesterday at the New Ocean House, Swampscott, after a week's illness following a heart attack. Members of his family who were with him when he died said the funeral services would be held at the home of his brother, C. C. Archibald, of Washington, D. C.
Mr. Archibald, a well known turf enthusiast, bred horses on his estate at Palins, (sic The Plains) Va., and came to Boston recently to race 14 of his horses at the Suffolk Downs track in East Boston. Among the horses in his stable are Candy Maid, Candy Prince, Westy's Duke, Westy's Duchess, and Office Boy.
He was the owner and president of the chain of candy stores known as the Fannie May in Chicago and Miami and a member of the committee of 100 in Miami to which Harvey Firestone and other notables belong.
Allan J. Wilson, managing director at the Suffolk Downs track said, "In the death of Mr. Archibald modern racing has lost one of its cleanest and most popular exponents. He was one of those who will be greatly missed by the racing world."
Ben Holmes, racing secretary at Suffolk Downs, added, "In the death of H. T. Archibald I have lost one of my best friends and racing has lost a splendid gentleman and a clean sport."
