While Mr. Cleveland had been In
poor health for the last two years, and
had lost a hundred pounds in weight,
bis death came Unexpectedly. Some
three weeks ago he was brought home
from Lakewood, where his condition
for a time was such that the hotel at
which he was staying was kept open
after its regular season, because he
was too i'll to be moved. But when
MIR. Cleveland was brought back to
Princeton he showed signs OF i'm
provement and actually gained five
pounds in weight
So Unexpectedly did Mr.. Cleveland's
death come that rot one OF his four
children was at home. The children
were at the Cleveland summer home at
Tamworth, N. H., under the care OF
Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother.
Word was sent to them of their faith
er's death and they started for Prince
ton at once. The children are Esther,
aged IA; Marion, aged IL; Richard,
aged 10, and Francis Grover, aged 8.
The news Of Mr.. Cleveland's death
came as a sudden shock to the people
OF Princeton, as 1t did to the people
of the rest of the world.
President Roosevelt, on hearing the
news Of the death of the former presi-
dent, issued a proclamation directing
that the flags over the White House
and the department buildings be
placed at half-mast in honor of the
memory of Mr.. Cleveland. He also
ordered that suitable naval and MILL
tary honors be rendered on the day
OF the funeral.
Mr.. Cleveland was II years old on
