Ross Capitalist Dies In Santa Barbara

Henry E. Bothin, capitalist, who owned a magnificent home in Ross where he spent his summers for many years, passed away in Santa Barbara last Sunday after a brief illness.

The funeral service was held yesterday and burial made privately in Montecito.

Bothin was one of the wealthiest men in the bay section at one time, and at the time of his death he was at the head of a number of business concerns. At the time of the San Francisco fire in 1906 he owned 97(?) large buildings, all of which were destroyed. The Bothin home in Ross was the scene of many notable society affairs during the summer season.
