Wife of Presi-
dent is Dead
First Lady of the Land Succumbs
After Four Months of I'm
broken Illness. ..... $500.

Msr. Woodrow Wilson, wife
of the President of the United
States, passed away in Wash
ington city at FIVE o'clock last
Thursday afternoon after four
months of almost unbroken ILL
ness. The end is said to have
come calmly and peacefully to
the first lady of the land, sur
rounded as she was by her hus-
band, her three daughters and
other relatives who had been
summoned when it was thought
the end was near.
A complication of nervous
ailments and Bright's disease
was the cause of Mrs. Wilson s
death, the ailments during her
protracted illness having COM
pletely sapped her vitality Her
frail constitution. drained by
months of never-ending illness,
was unable to withstand the
battle.
During the last hours, con-
scious only at intervals, Mrs.
Wilson had been cheerful and
had called constantly for her
husband. Every moment that
could be spared from urgent
official duties were devoted by
the president to his wife.
The funeral of Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, who died Thursday of
last week, was held from the
White House Monday morning.
Both the Senate and the house
of Representatives were closed
and all public activity suspend
ed.
The services were very sim
pie. The Presbyterian ritual.
prayers and scriptural reading
being all. Only the members of
the Wilson family. the families
of the cabinet members, and the
members of the senate and
house special commlttees were
permitted to attend the services.
The body was taken to Rome,
Ca, and buried at the Myrtle
Hill cemetary Tuesday after
noon.
| President Wilson took per-
sonal charge of the final ar
| rangements for his wife's fun
neral, and steeled himself against
his grief.
Every effort was made to
maintain the privacy of the
family and to conduct the fun
eral as nearly as possible as if
the president were private
citizen.
