All then
Joined In the Lords Prayer
as the minister repeated it, President
Roosevelt's voice being audible at the
farther end of the room. The services
concluded with a simple benediction.
fhe funeral director was about to step
forward to place the cover upon the
casket when suddenly there was a
movement behind Governor 0dell SEN
ator Hanna, who had arisen saw that
the last opportunity to look into the
countenanee of his dead friend had
come. Pressing forward in an instant
he was at the side of the casket and
bending over and looking down into it.
Almost two minutes passed and then he
turned away and the coffin was closed.
Colonel Bingham signalled the body
bearers. Four sailors, two infantry
sepgeants and two artillery sergeants
bore the casket aloft and out of the
house. The President cabinet and the
others followed it. Mrs. Mckinley and
the members of the family remained.
The widow had passed tnrougn she
ordeal bravely and without breaking
down. The trained nurses and the per-
sonal attendants of the President ga..t-
cred on the side porch to see the body
taken away.
1t was within a minute of IL: 80
O'Clock when three long rolls of a
muffled drum told those outside the
house that
The Funeral Cortege
was about to appear. From the dark
enea rooms the assemblage began to
file cat to the streets. Soon the walks
and lawns were again covered With the
silent throng with barred heads. At the
moment the casket appeared Nearer
My God to Thee asc.Ided in subdued
strains from one of the military bands.
The bearers lowered the casket from
their shoulders and placed it in the
hearse
The notes of Chopin's funeral dirge
succeeded the strains of the hymn. The
soldiers and sailors swung into long
columns and took up the march SOUTH
ward toward the city hall
President Roosevelt came from the
house almost Immediately following
the casket, and arm in arm with Sec
rotary Root moved through the aisle of
people,, He. entered the first carriage
with Mr. Root, and with Attorney Gen.
eral Knox and Postmaster General
Smith, who had followed. The presi-
Dental carriage fell in Immediately
back of the military escort. Follow
ing in the second carriage were Secre-
tary Long, Secretary Hitchcock, Sec
rotary Wilson and Secretary Cortel-
you. Major General Brooke was in
the third carriage and Rev. DR.. Locke
and his wife in the fourth. In this
order four carriages preceded the
hearse. After these four carriages
there was clear space of 100 feet and
then came the hearse bearing the dead
President. At the head OF each of the
| leading horses a police officer walked
! with hand at the bride.
! On each side of the hearse walked a
! detachment OF soldiers and sailors
/ four picked men from the army and
marine corps on the right end rs
many more blue jackets under Lieut..
I Eberly at the left Immediately be-
hind the hearse marched
Score of G. A. r.. veterans
! who had been assigned to this post of
honor.
! In the carriage following the Grand
Army marchers rode Senator Hanna
/ Governor Odel, Senators Fairbanks
and Bean. Senator Burrows, Director
General Buchanan and two exposi-
ton officials occupied the next. Then
came Col. Bingham and Major Thomas
w. Symonds who has been the active
representative of the War Department
since the shooting of the President oc-
Cured. The White House staE who
were so closely identified with the late
President rode together. Mayor Diehl,
of Buffalo and city officials and mem
bers OF the city corGcll were the last
offic.-l mourners in the cortege. At
ter them followed a long line of car
riages occupied by those who had been
! near the President officially and per-
sonally and who followed more as
! friends than as officials. None of the
members of the family entered the car
| riages.
