Canton, O., May 29,-The body of Ida saxton Mckinley to-day was laid be- side that of her distinguished husband in Westlawn cemetery.
 The funeral services held at the old fashioned Mckinley home, were simple. Four songs were sung, the same as were sung at the funeral of President Mckinley and the services the simple ritual of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 The house on It's Market and Louis street sides was roped off to restrain the crowds which thronged the neigh boring thoroughfares, A broad la.yen- der ribbon fluttered from the door to indicate home of mourning and only a few intimate friends visited the resi- dence during the forenoon. It was not i, until the funeral services were actually being performed that the streets be- came crowded but the people were held under excellent check by the police. President Roosevelt arrived at 12:45 p. m. and was driven immediately to the residence of associate justice of the supreme cotrt at luncheon. Among others at the table were Secretaries Root, Cortelyou and Wilson, Governor Harris and ex-Goyernor Herrick, of Ohio.
 Immediately after the luncheon the president and party were driven to the Mckinley home on North Market { street. The body lay in the so-called 1 Champaign room" in the identical spot where President McKinley's body lay after the Buffalo tragedy. Flowers in profusion With the roses which are Mrs. McKinley's favored, predominant ing, filled the room while many more for which there was not room in the house were sent to Westlawn ceme- tery.

 While the services were being con- ducted by the Rev. Dr. Buxton, of the First Methodist Episcopal church, and 1 the Rev. pr. Holmes, former pastor of the same church, all public and pri- vate business and amusement in Can | ton stopped. Even the street cars in the vicinity of the Mckinley home did not run.
 Thousands of people lined the side walks and were pressed behind the ropes along North Market and Louis streets, and all along the route to Westlawn cemetery flags were at half mast and men and women in sombre garb lined the way.
