W. R. DILLMAN IS HEART VICTIM
One of the best liked men in Mojave passed away on Monday morning of this 
week, when William Henry Dillman, 64, met death, the victim at heart disease. Mr.
Dillman was at breakfast and apparently decided to turn on his radio in front of 
which his body was found by Mrs. May Coffill, owner of the apartment in which he 
lived, his breakfast uneaten. 
A retired Southem Pacific railway clerk, Mr. Dillman had been a resident of Mojave 
for the past ten years and was known as a kindly man ever willing to do anything he 
could to alleviate the sufferings of others. Other residents of the Coffill apartments 
will miss him since he was always doing something to make life more beautiful for 
them. It was he who trimmed the mammoth Christmas tree in the Coffill grounds and 
many of his friends expressed the wish that it be left until after New Years, little 
realizing that he would not be here to see it on New Years Day.
He was born in Cheyenne, Wyo., and is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Dorothy 
Furtadeo and Mrs. Willette Carroll, both of Oakland, Calif., two sisters, Mrs. George 
Buck of New Orleans, La., and Mrs. F. J. Kihm of Santa Monica, Calif, and four 
brothers, F'red Dillman of New Orleans, La., Col. George Dillman of Fort Sam 
Houston, Texas, Robert Dillman of Chicago, Ill., and Ernest Dillman of Detroit, Mich
Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Mojave Funeral Chapel where services 
will be held at 10 o'clock this morning, Burial will take place in Union Cemetary at 
Bakersfield, this afternoon at 2  o'clock.
