DEATH CAME AFTER
A BRAVE STRUGGLE
Wife of President Wilson Passed Away
III White House Late Yesterday
Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, wife Of the President of
the United States, died in the White
House at o'clock yesterday after
noon. Death came after brave strug-
gle OF months against brights disease
with complications.
The President was completely un-
nerved by the shock and his grief was
heartrending. He bore up well under
the strain, however, and devoted him
self to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson was
unconscious. Her illness took turn
for the worse shortly after / O'Clock I'm
the afternoon and from then on she
grew gradually weaker.

daughters. DR.. Cary I. Grayson. L. S.
n, and nurse were in the room. and
lust outside the door were Secretary
MeAdoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr.. VIII
son sons-in-law, and Mr.. Tumulty, his
secretary.
Both houses of Congress adjourned
when Mrs. Wilson s death was announc-
ed and for a brief time the wheels of
government practically stopped while
everyone paid respect to the loss of the
President
During the day Mrs. Wilson spoke
to DIR. Grayson about the President,
whose health she thought more about
than she did Of her own.
Promise me. - she whispered faint.
~, 90 that if | 90 you Will take care of
my husband
1t was the same touch of devotion
which she had so many times repeated
her constant anxiety having been
that the President might not worry
about her or be disturbed in his official
tasks.
Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise
AXson, daughter of Presbyterian cler-
gyman, and was born at Savannah. Ga.
She was a student at the New York
Art league when she met Mr.. Wilson.
who was then taking a post graduate
| course at Johns Hopkins University.
The President and Mrs Wilson were
married June "a, 1885. Mrs Wilson was
a sister of Prof. Stockton Axson. head
OF the department of English literature
at Princeton University, and of the
wife of Dean Edward Elliott of Prince
ton. A landscape gardener of recog
nlzed ability, and painter of equally
