Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Dead at 75; Invalid for Years
(continued from page 1.)

When MT. Rockefeller's wealth was mentioned in seven figures they left their first home for residence re- narkab1e only for it's unpretentious- t.nli1e of millions. Here Mrs. Rockefeller reared her four children; a fifth died in infancy.
 The training given the Rockefeller children by their mother is declared to have been almost Sparton. AL though the Rockefeller wealth in creased in leaps and bounds there was only one carriage and a horse cared for by man, who acted as both coachman and hostIer. These were used mostly Sundays on the trip to church. Mrs. Rockefeller employed two maids but still insisted on doing much of the work herself She also supervised every detail of the care and training of her children; particu- Iarly seeking to instiIl in their minds the lesson of thrift. It is related that on one occasion she averaged up the gas bills for a year and promised as spending money to her eldest daugh- ter any sum she might save each month by watching that no lights were left burning needlessly-
 A relative told of her suffering un- der a particularly bitter newspaper attack in Cleveland against her hus- band. At her insistence,s the guards
 
 doubled. Although MT. Rockefeller received scores of letters threatening his life, and personal friends and relatives pleaded with him not to ex- pose himself, he insisted on making his usual Sunday trip by automobile to the Euclid avenue Baptist church.
 When Mrs. Rockefeller heard of his determination she insisted on ac- companying him although poor health had kept her confined to the house for some time.
 eff anything happens to you,'' she is quoted as saying, T want it to happen to me too."
 Of her children, three are living. She was the mother of four daugh- ters and one son, the last named, John D. Rockefeller. Jr., being the youngest. Her eldest daughter Bes- sic, who married Prof Charles A Strong, died in France in 1906 at. the age of 40. The second daughter Alice died in infancy.
 The surviving children are Alta wife of. P. Parma1ee Prentice; Edith who married Harold Fowler McCor- mick: and John D. Rockefeller, IT.
