Las Vegas Age - 1/27/1917
JUDGE LILLIS' BROTHER DIES



DECEASED SAID TO BE ONE OF THE THREE LARGEST LAND OWNERS IN CALIFORNIA



    Judge Henry M. LILLIS on Sunday received a message announcing the

death of his brother in San Francisco, and left at once to attend the funeral.

We clip the following from the San Francisco Chronicle:

    "Simon Clare LILLIS, wealthy banker and stock raiser, who had lived in

California for thirty-eight years, died at his home, 2170 Vallejo street,

last Sunday.  Had he lived until yesterday he would have celebrated his

seventy-fifth birthday.

    "Funeral services will be held from the LILLIS residence this

afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.

    "LILLIS was one of the three largest landowners in the State, most of

his holdings being in Fresno county, and he also dealt largely in cattle.

He was born in Ireland, coming to the United States when a boy, and during

the Civil War he commanded a company.

    "He was president of the First National Bank of Oroville; the First

National Bank of Hanford, and the Bank of Lemoore.

    "LILLIS made San Francisco his home for twenty-five years."
