The funeral arrangements so far as
made are that Dr. Buxton will have
charge of the services, which are to
be simple. They will be held at the
Mckinley home at o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in Westlawn Gene
terry which holds the remains of her
husband, until the completion of the
national mausolem on Monument Hill,
when both caskets will be transferred
to receptacles in that tomb.
Mrs McKinley's life of almost so
years had been made familiar to the
nation by the fact that more than half
or it was a period of invalidism.
Through all this, however, she showed
a firm belief in the career of her hus-
band and encouraged him when there
was darkness at hand.
She believed that his star of des-
tiny would never set until he had be-
come president of this land and for
more than quarter of century cher
ished that belief until her hopes were
realized.
After President McKinley's death
she expressed a desire to join him and
prayed that she might die. Later,
however, she told friends she desired
to live until the completion of the Nc
Kinley mausoleum which is the gift of
the nation and which is to be dedicat-
ed on Monument Hill September 30.
Ida SaXton Mckinley was born in
Canton, June s, 1S47. James A. Sax
ton, her father, yas a banker. Ida
Saxton was reared in home of COM
fort and ease. After attending Can
ton schools she was a pupil at a priv
ate school at Delhi, N. Y. Later she
went to Cleveland academy and fin
ished her education at Brook Hall
seminary, Media, Pa, where she
spent three years. In the summer of
1863, in company with her sister
Mary, now Mrs. Barber, she was one
of party of young ladies who made
a tour of Europe.
Part of the years of her young wo-
manhood were spent in the Stark
County bank, which belonged to her
father. On several occasions she had
charge of the institution.
While she taught Sunday-school in
the Presbyterian church, young lawyer
William Mckinley, jr., was superin-
tendent of the First Methodist Episco-
pal Sunday-school Among many
suitors Mckinley was the favored one.
On January 25, 1871, William Nc
Kinley and Ida Saxton were married
The estate which was left by the
president was appraised at $215,00O
when the inventory was made. 1t has
increased in value since that time. BY
the terms of the will of Mckinley the
estate at the death of Mrs. Mckinley
was to be divided equally between his
brother, Abner Mckinley, now de-
ceased, and sisters, Mrs. Duncan and
Miss Helen Mckinley, of Cleveland.
Respect was paid Mrs. Mckinley in
many Canton churches, both morning
and evening Sunday.
