BLOOMS IN PROFUSION
Rev., Bradford Leavitt Is
Officiating Pastor . '
at Services
All that Is mortal of William r H.
Hills, late land agent of the Central
Pacific company, and one of California's
best citizens and warmest admirers,
was laid to rest yesterday in the pres
ence of a throng of friends, public and
social, and grieving relatives. .: !
"We need have no doubt, no fear of
future need oppress us:" the life of
him who lies asleep is blessed in peace- ;
ful rest and will go on through eter- :
nlty," said the preacher, and the hearts
of all present were touched at the
words of the pastor, whose warm per
sonar friend William H. Mills had been.
The funeral ceremonies took place
at his late residence, 2855 Pacific ave
nue, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock,
Rev. Bradford Leavitt officiating. All
departments of the Southern Pacific
company were represented, as was the
state board of trade and the Chit-Chat
club. Prominent men of public life
from all over, the state were there to
Join with relatives and .friends In pay
ing a last tribute to a good and wise
man.
The library, wherein \u25a0 the body lay,
was bright with blossoms sent by many
friends. Rich floral pieces and clusters
of flowers almost hid from sight the
casket. > -' "-\u25a0 -,'"
After a quartet from California
lodge, F. and A. M. f had sung "Lead.
Kindly Light," Rev. Mr. Leavitt read
the Unitarian burial service and pro
nounced a fitting eulogy. He spoke
of the sacred memories of close asso
ciation with the one who had passed
away and of the days Just preceding
his death. "The pure in heart shall
see God,** he said one day when,
propped up at his window, he took In
the expanse of bay and sky and hills
that stretched before him.
"That was typical of the man," said
the minister, "for he was ever alert to
the beautiful and keen; to perceive the
good. His was a nature of peculiar
sympathy and culture. Into' the walks
of commerce he carried a high appre
ciation of morals, an unswerving Integ
rity and a pure soul."
His devotion to duty was touched
upon.
"Certain projects in connection with
his work," said Dr. Leavitt, "necessi
tated a trip to Nevada a few, weeks
ago. He was urged not to undertake
the journey, and -his physician warned
him that his health was in a pre
carious condition. But he felt it his
duty to go, and he went- in response
to duty."
Interment was in' Mountain View
cemetery, on the slopes ' of the Contra
Costa hills, across the bay. The funeral
procession wound its way from the
home on Pacific avenue to the foot of
Broadway, where a ferry provided by
the Southern Pacific carried the funeral
party to Oakland. The honorary pall
bearers-were: Fairfax Wheelan, E.
