Funeral services for Anthony J. Amestoy, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of Los Angeles, whose death occurred last Monday, will be conducted at 9:30 a.m. today at St. Thomas's Church in Pico Heights.

He was the son of Domingo Amestoy, who came to California from France In 1849 and who made a part of his fortune during the gold rush of the early days. Although he retired from active business several years ago, Mr. Amestoy was for many years one of the most influential ranchers and business men in the Southland. He saw Los Angeles grow from a pueblo to its present position of one of the greatest cities of the world.
