The Garfield homeon Prospect street, where
Mrs. Garfield has lived since President Gar
fields death, is empty and for sale mrs. Tar
field and her family have gone to live at the
Mentor farm, where, she says, she can hnd
more peace and comfort than anywhere else.
Before she went there the house on the farm
was remodeled and added to. Still, it was
much too small for the equipments of the city
house, and few days ago private sale was
held. at which a great many things were dis
posed of at fabulous prices During the I'M
settled period Grandma Garfield went to her
old home at Scion, a village twelve miles
from town, and near Hiram college, where
her boy was taught and taught Others. The
old lady is pestered almost to sickness by au-
tograph hunters, and will attend to them no
more. She is strong and very clear of mind,
as of old Since the removal of Mrs. Gar
field to Mentor grandma has rejoined her.
One reason why the house on the farm was
enlarged was the need of room where Presi-
dent Garfelds effects and papers could be
placed These have all been arranged with
the utmost care, and placed in systematic
order. The articles in the memorial room of
the Prospect street house have also been re-
moved to a specially built room in the Men
ton home, and rare collection Of tributes
