       disaster survivor, were laid to rest Saturday beside
       those of his wife and children in the Forest Lawn
       Memorial Park. The funeral recalls the tragedy of
       March 13 when WILMOT'S wife, young son, and small
       baby were drowned in the tide that rushed down the
       sleeping Santa Clara Valley.
       
         Deceased passed away Wednesday at Saugus. The body
       was removed to the W. G. Noble mortuary in San Fer-
       nando.
       
         One daughter survives him. She is little MARGARET,
       who is critically ill with influenza at a San Fer-
       nando hospital. LENA B. WILMOT, mother of the dead
       man, and J. E. WILMOT of Saugus, a brother, also
       survive him.
