Last At White House,
Brave Fight.
THE PRESIDENT IS UNNERVED.
End Came While Unconscious
Touching Scenes In
Last Hours.
THE PRESIDENT IS UNNERYED.

Washington, Aug. Z. Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, wife of the President of
the United States, died at the White
House at 5 o'clock Thursday after
noon. Death came after a brave
struggle of months against Bright's
disease with complications.

was heart-rending. He bore up well
under the strain, however, and de-
voted himself to his daughters.
Funeral arrangements have not
been made. The place of burial will
be either Rome, Ga, where Mrs.
Wilson once lived, or Princeton, N.
j., where the family loved for 25
years.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, nee Miss
Ellen Louise Arson, was born in Sa-
vannah. Ga. She was the daughter
of Rev. Edward and Margaret j.
Arson. She received her earlier ed
ucation in private schools at Rome
and Savannah, Ga, and later studied
at the Art Students league in New
York. She was married to President
Wilson at Savannah, June "a. 1885.
She was considered one of the ra.
diant beauties of the South at the
time of her marriage, and was eX
tremely popular both in Savannah
and Rome, Ga, where she spent &
number of years.
The year of the Wilson-Axson un
ion synehronized with Mr.. Wilson
acceptance of professorship in Bryr
Mawr college, where, as the wife o.
the young educator, Mrs. Wilson at
tracted much attention by her ready
wit and her faculty for charming
conversation. She had large brown
eyes, her features were small and
regular and her head was crowned
with a wealth of waving brown hair
Three daughters were born to the
union: Margaret Woodrow, the ED
est: Jessie Woodrow and Eleanor
Randolph, all girls of high accom-
pishments.
