DEATH OF MR. H. H. WILLS

A GREAT BENEFACTOR
OF BRISTOL Mr. Henry Herbert Wills, one of Bristol's greatest benefactors, and a member of the well-known tobacco firm, died last night at his residence, St. Vincent's, Clifton Park.
He was associated with many philanthropic institutions, and was perhaps most closely identified with Bristol University, which his father so materially assisted to bring into being, and which he fostered with a generousity equalled only by his brother, Mr. G. A. Wills. What he did for the University would be alone sufficient to place his name among the greatest of local philanthropists, but he recently launched a scheme which doubled the city's indebtedness to him, in founding St. Monica's Home of Rest for Incurables, to which he contributed one and a quarter millions.
Mr. Wills was the second son of Mr. Henry Overton Wills, and was born in Bristol on March 20, 1856. He was educated at Clifton College and Bristol University College, in both of which he maintained a warm interest throughout his life. As a young man he devoted his attention to mechanical engineering, and the knowledge he gained was turned to profitable use when he entered the business of Messrs. W. D. and H. O. Wills. He became a director of the firm, and on the formation of the Imperial Tobacco Company he took a seat on the board.
