Arthur Leland Ruddick, 39, who passed away in San Francisco Monday, was laid to rest Wednesday afternoon in Ukiah cemetery in the valley on which he was born and raised. Although Ruddick had been an invalid 20 years and had been a patient, uncomplaining sufferer in St. Luke's Hospital in San Francisco the past 21 months, receiving treatment from specialists of the coast, his death was unexpected and came as a shock to the family and friends. Services were held at Cleland's funeral Home, with Rev. Claude F. Mosher officiating. Pall bearers were George Ginochio, W. B. Hagans, A. R. Thomas, Otto Gielow, Karl Holzhauser and A. C. McKenzie. Born here April 9, 1895, the son of the late Lewis and Sarah Ruddick, prominent valley pioneers, deceased was raised on the home ranch south of town and lived practically his entire life here, a respected resident of the community. Surviving are three brothers, Ernest, Elmer and Vernon of Ukiah, and six sisters, Miss Myrtle Ruddick, Mrs. May Cowsert and Mrs. W. R. Ford of Ukiah, Mrs. A. M. King of Hayward, Mrs. J. W. Madden of Oakland and Miss Myrle Ruddick of San Francisco.
