Che FREEMAN.
MONTPELIER. VT.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 81, 1881.
Dead,

James Abram Garfield, President of the
United States, died at Elberon. Long
Branch, at 10: 80 Monday evening.
Born in Orange, Ohio. November 10
1881, his life was two months short of fifty
years.
But this short life was full of work; of
work in preparation and of work in action
for his country. This work began in boy
hood; his father was dead and his mother
who to-day completed her four score years
needed and had his aid. His youth and
early manhood were full Of work rs h.
sought an education. When this was oh
tanned he became teacher. When war
broke out he WAS soldier. Trusted by
those who knew him he was sent to con
gress and thern worked and became a
statesman. Endowed with great gifts by
nature such was his labor that it may be
said to have conquerd all things. He was
not only president but by common consent
the best equipped man in the country to
be president.
A great man, he was also good man
His private life was of great simplicity :;
he was good son, husband and father
And it may be doubted whether his great
public service has been of such good to
the American people rs the home life of
himself and Mrs Garfield revealed in the
last few weeks not only in its atlliction.
nobly borne, but in its happier days.
The great heart of the nation did not
"pull the old soldier through but it
grieves for his good wife, his old mother
and his children, and with them mourn his
death.
The prayers of the fifty million people
whose head he was, and indeed of the
good in all lands, did not avail for resto
ration. Like Lincoln, he is dead land
died so,"
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1881-09-21

THE DEATH SCENE.-There were pre-
sent when the president awoke only Gen
eral Swain and Colonel Rockwell, but al
the attendants were speedily summoned
Mrs. Garfield Drs. Bliss Hamilton, Boyn
ton, and Colonel Rockwell and Private
Secretary Brown reached the room within
few moments. Mrs. Garfield sat upor
the bedside holding the hand of her dying
husband. DR.. Hamilton stood on the OPP
posite side and others were grouped abou
the president. who was unconscious ever
before the first of those summoned reach
ed the chamber. No other persons wer
in the room. Mrs. Colonel Rockwell witt
her daughter and Miss Molie Garfield sa
upon lounge in the hall The colore,
servants of the Franckly n Cottage were
grouped outside the door of the sick room
peeping in.
The president was breathing heavily
and at increasing intervals. The doctor
whispered TO each other two or lhree times
bat aside from this no word was spoken
Two or three signs and some suppressed
sobbing was heard from groups of negroe
in the door, but all the rest were silent
The heavy breathing of the president con
tinued for about fifteen minutes, and theI
ceased. Consciousness did not return
Death was absolutely painless, When al
was over Mrs. Garfield quitely withdrew
to her room. DIR. Hamilton smoothed thu
features of the dead president, and III,
other physicians and attendants straight
ened his limbs.
Mrs. Garfield returned about half an
hour later, and sat silently upon the he'd
side, the tears running in fl ,ods over he,
cheeks, but her whole demeanor manifest
ing her heroic spirit and self-control il
this the supreme hour Of her grief.
