Mrs. Wilson died at the White
House at 5 o'clock Thursday after
noon. Death came after a brave
struggle of. months against Bright's
disease and complications.
The president was completely un-
nerved by the shock and his grief wal
he%artrending. He bore up well I'M
der the strain. however, and devoted
himself to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson
was unconscious. Her illness took a
turn for the worse shortly before !
O'Clock in the afternoon, and from
then on she grew gradually weaker.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
were the president and their three
daughters. DR.. Cary T. Grayson,
United States Navy, and a nurse were
In the room. and just outside of the
door were Secretary McAdoo and
Francis B. Sayer, Mr.. Wilson's
s~ons-in-law. and Mr.. Tumulty, his
secretary.
Both houses Of congress adjourned
when Mrs. Wilson's death was an.
nounced. and for a brief time the
wheels o. the government practically
stopped. while every one paid respect
TO h loss of the president.
When DR.. E. P. Davis, of Philadel-
phia, who had been called in for
consultation, realized that the time
for hope had passed, he took the
president into the Red room of the
White House, and there, in a broken
voice. told him the truth. MI. VIII
sons face blanched, but he bore the
Shock well. He was informed that
the end was only a question Of hours,
Mr.. Wilson then took his daugh-
tiers, Mrs. w. G. McAdoo. Mrs. Sayre
and Miss Margaret Wilson, aside and
told them Of their mothers condition,
Until then they had thought there
was a chance for her recovery.
From that time on the president
and his daughters remained con-
stantly at Mrs. Wilson's bedsinde.
The president held his wife's hand.
and the three daughters were grouped
nearby. Until she became uncon-
scious Mrs. Wilson frequently nodded
to one or the other and smiled
ch%eerfully.
During the day Mrs. Wilson spoke
to DIR. Grayson about the president,
whose health she thought more about
than she did her own.
Promise me-" she whispered,
that II I go, you will take care Of
my huband ---"
1t was the same touch of devotion
which she had so many times repeat
ed-her constant anxiety having
been that the president might not
worry about her or be disturbed in
his official tasks.
