			By 1899 Highland Stock Farm with his motto "Blood and Speed Combined," had an international reputation. In that year the Emperor of Austria asked to be sent a catalogue of the farm's stock. (6)

	In 1899, three years after the death of Nutwood, the Stouts sold all their horses and closed the farm. Stout died the next year and willed the farm to his son [[STOUT, Frank D.\|Frank D. STOUT]]. When business kept Frank away from Dubuque, he divided the farm. The stables, tracks, and stock barns were given to his sister, [[STOUT, Fannie\|Fannie STOUT]].

	Fannie, who had received what became Egelhof-Casper-Strueber funeral home as a wedding gift from her father, had the outdoor track seeded and the area within the track flooded to make a pool. White swans were imported to live in the pond and the covered track and farm buildings were demolished.

	Fannie died on December 28, 1914, with an unsigned will. The property became part of the estate and was purchased by [[NAGLE, Joseph J.\|Joseph J. NAGLE]] who sold the land to the Sisters of Mercy.
