ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
interested himseif in the development
of banking in this city and throughout
the State. He founded the Pioneer
Bank of Porterville and became it's
president He also assisted in the es-
banks, in most of which he held inn
Dortant official positions. One of the
places which he held at his death was
that of director of the California Title
Insurance and Trust Company of this
city.
Few men have lived in San Fran
cisco who have shown their public
spirit so thoroughly in so many differ
ent activities. Lilienthal was, first OF
all, a great banker, a man whom an
the financial interests of the city
looked to as a bulwark of strength IN
time of need; and more than once in
the last few years, particularly since
the great fire, his sterling qualities,
his wisdom and his courage have been
put to the test and not found wanting.
Despite the demands which his bust
ness made on his time and strength,
he found opportunity to demonstrate
in a practical way the catholicity OF
his sympathies as a citizen.
HAD KEEN CIVIC INTEREST.
No important public or semi-public
movement in this city was ever con-
sidered well managed unless it had
behind it in some capacity this re-
sourceful and energetic banker Lilien-
thai was one of the men who helped
to make the Midwinter Fair sue
cess. He was also one of the men who
served on the Fleet Committee, and
worked hard to make the welcome of
the battleships an event which her
aided the fame of California's hospt-
tality to all lands. These are only
isolated instances Of his untiring work
for the city of his adoption.
Lilienthal stood high in the counsels
of the Republican party of this city.
He had opportunities to accept pub
lie office, but he always refused these
honors, preferring to do his work as
a citizen quietly in the ranks. The
only actual Office, which he held, was
that of director of the San Francisco
Free Library. Although he Stunned
office. he found it impossible to es-
cape the demands which were made
on him for advice and assistance, and
he has in many years of quiet work
left an ineffaceable influence for good
on the government of this city.
MEMBER OF MANY CLUBS.
In the social and club life of San
Francisco, Lilienthal was universally
admired and sought after. He was a
prominent member of the Bohemian
Club, the Family, the Pacific Union
Club, the Union League Club, the
Commonwealth, and the Argonaut
Club, and his membership in each
case meant something. In each or
ganization he left his mark.
Lilienthal was widely known and
loved for his charitable work. Nc
really needy person ever applied tc
him for assistance and was turned
away empty-handed. Much of his
benevolence was of that simple, silent
kind which never reaches the eyes Of
the world. Nevertheless, he believed
in organized charity, and much of his
philanthropy reached its objec
throughout the channels OF these so
cieties in which he was member ant
patron. Lilienthal was an Influential
member of Congregation Emanu-E
: and he had a part in the work of al
, the local Jewish charities.
