Coker Funeral Hoine, ico City survive. Another relative was the late Gen. Douglas MacArthur, a cousin. MRS. MacARTHUR said through a family spokesman Friday that the funeral had yet to be arranged, but would, be private.

She asked that anyone thinking of sending flowers give instead to their favorite charity. MacArthur went to work at age 18 for a Chicago insurance company -owned by his brother Alfred. "I was kind of a combination office boy and I sold insurance," MacArthur said. "And I showed other people how to do it Alfred did not fully appreciate my services, so I quit." He worked for a while on the Chi-; cago Herald Examiner, inspiration for the play Tront Page," written by his newsman brother, Charles, with Ben Hecht. But reporting wasnl to his taste and he joined the Canadian air corps at the outset of World War I.

Returning to Chicago with a medical discharge and a pocket full of medals, MacArthur became one of the first to sell a million dollars worth of insur-ance. All his money was tied up, however, when he saw a chance to buy the depression-weakened Bankers Life Casualty for He borrowed the money and thus laid the foundation of his empire. LATER HE said he was forced to mail-order selling by the depression and his inability to hire good salesmen. The innovation worked, and it's still used by Bankers Life. f'l was so committed to that that I actually thought, I actually believed, that if I failed I'd never get another job in the insurance industry," MacArthur said years later in an interview with the Associated At least a dozen insurance companies came under his corporate, umbrella, along with banks, restaurants, farms, airplanes and recording, print- ing, utility, salvage, brewing, restaurant and housing ventures.

He's said to have built four small Florida cities. MacArthur's name wasn't confined to the financial pages. When the Delong Ruby and other jewels were stolen from the American Museum of Natural His-' tory in New York City, MacArthur paid someone $25,000 to "ransom" the ruby jewel-cutters before they could cut it up and resell it.

P. Boza RIVERSIDE CHAPEL 3809 N. Armenia Ave. WEST PALM BEACH (AP) The era of the colorful and eccentric American business tycoon moved closer to an end Friday with the death of John D. MacArthur, a billionaire who conducted the business of his empire from a hotel coffee shop.

MacArthur died of cancer of the pancreas at the age of 80, leaving only one known American billionaire shipping tycoon Daniel K. Ludwig. HOWARD HUGHES, J. Paul Getty and H.L. Hunt, the only other men listed by Fortune magazine as modern American billionaires, are all dead.

The youngest child of an itinerant Baptist preacher, MacArthur made his fortune selling mail-order insurance. He swelled it with well-timed real estate investments that nobody not even him, he said could keep track of. MacArthur, head of Bankers Life Casualty Co. and a pyramid of others, never would say how much he was worth. But when asked about an estimate of $5 billion he agreed to let himself be called a billionaire.

But he showed few signs of wealth, living in a modest apartment at his Col-lonades Hotel in nearby Palm Beach Shores. He had no mansion or limousines, not even a secretary. UNLIKE HIS secretive and inacces-sable contemporaries, he preferred to hang out in the hotel coffee shop and meet his visitors in casual dress that one said gave him the look of an "eld-1 erly beach bum." He was amused when hotel guests would mistake him for the handyman. MacArthur's disdain for the trappings of wealth, fit a pattern. "None of the men seems to have been motivated by a desire for what money could bring in," Fortune wrote of the wealthy men in 1976.

"Indeed, some of them had a miser's fear of spending." MacArthur shunned the big names who made Palm Beach a winter playground for the leisured. Those people, he said, "have a party every night They're yakkity-yakking about nothing, boring the hell out of each other, I'm sure. They certainly bore the life out of me." MacArthur preferred to talk about his land. Starting with profits from Bankers Life, he pulled together an estimated 100,000 acres of Florida and vast holdings elsewhere, including a Chicago printing company, a brewery, and the PGA National Golf Club here. ONE OF HIS last ventures was the purchase of the famous Biltmore Hotel in Palm Beach.

He meant to refurbish the jazz-age spa, but failing health after a stroke forced him to sell it to a condominium developer. In the purchase agreement, MacArthur was promised that his portrait would hang forever in the building and that the $750,000 Prince of Alba suite would be renamed in his honor. MacArthur was born at Pittston, Pa. on March 6, 1897, the youngest of seven children of the Rev. William Tel-fer MacArthur and Georgia Welstead MacArthur.

Of the family, only his widow Catherine and two children by a previous marriage Roderick, 57, of Chicago, and Virginia Cordova, 55, of Mex- Interment in Garden Memories.

Hamilton, a member of a pioneer black family here and probably this city's largest single landowner, died Thursday. He was 82. Hamilton, a native of Bartow, built his large real estate holdings by doing carpenter and contracting work in his younger days.

Hamilton, through the years, ac quired much residential and commercial land on the east side of Bartow.

He also owned property in Orange County, including the building occupied by the Washington Shores Federal Savings and Loan Association in Orlando.

"When he (Hamilton) told you something, you could just depend on it the acquaintance said.
