WILSON'S DEATH is
ANNOUNCED IN CHURCHES

Americas churches, with full con.
gregations assembled received first
news that former President Wood,
row Wilson had died Sunday morn
ing shortly before the noon hour
Information upon which pulpit an
nouncements were based were fur
nished by the Times-Recordel
through the Associated Press. In
all these edifires some eulogistic
remarks followed announcement of
Mr.. Wilson's death, and in many
of these prayers for his recovery
had just been completed when the
news of his death was received. In
First Baptist church, DR.. Carl w.
Minor held his congregation togeth-
er at the close of the service for
a brief eulogy of the nations war
time president, while at the Central
Baptist church eloquent tribute to
his memory was paid by the pastor,
Rev. Milo H. Massey. Rev. Luther
Harrell, pastor of Lee Street Meth
odist devoted part of his sermon
to remarks upon the life and char
acter of Mr.. Wilson and to a.
resume of his brilliant services to
the nation during a most trying

and feebler, and his heart muscles
was so fatigued that it refused to
act any longer. The end came
peacefully
Mrs. Wilson, his daughter Mar
garet and DR.. Grayson only were
were in the death chamber at the
end. Dr. Grayson, restraining tears
with obvious difficulty, gave the
formal announcement to waiting
newspapermen. Worn with the
strain, his voice was barely audible
when he said that the former presi-
dents last moments had been peace
full.
The general sclerosis had been
progressively hardening Mr.. Will
sons arteries since he was first
stricken in 1919. The haempligia,
which refers to the paralytic con-
ditiOns OF his left side, manifested
itself principally in his left arm and
leg.
A digestive disorder, which de-
veloped last Monday fastened death
by a new and vicious attack on the
waning vitality of the former presi-
dent. He took a sudden turn for
the worse Thursday night and his
physicians found thereafter it was
only a question of how long they
would be able to prolong life.

FIGHTING SPIRIT
PRESENT TILL DEATH

! WASHINGTON, February a. -
Woodrow Wilson has found in
eternity a haven from the storms
and sorrows of this troubled world.
In, prayerful quiet Sunday morning,
death folded him gently in it's en-
brace and bore him to his Maker.
He passed from life while he slept,
with tose he loved close about
him.
His broken body had weakened
little by little until the last spark
of vitality went out. But his spirit
was supported to the last by the
indomitable courage of his old
fighting days. In his last wakeful
moments he told his loved ones he
knew the end had come and was
ready.
Whether there will be state
funeral ceremony or merely pri-
vate gathering of those nearest him
to pay the last need of devotion,
is undecided, and depends almost
entirely on the wishes of his widow
who has been an ever present help
in the long and weary months of
his illness, and who was with him
when he died.
Fatigued and worn by battle with
death which began before he left
the White House in 1921, the war
president of two terms-eight of the
most momentous years in the history
of the world-closed his eyes AMI
slipped peacefully away.
First word of the seriousness of
Mr.. Wilson's condition was given by
DR.. Grayson Friday morning after
he had spent Thursday night at the
bedside. He called in at once two
snther physicians and members of
he family were summoned by tele-
aph, but only Mrs. Wilson, his
tighter, Margaret, and his broth

The end came when vitality no

zip in 1919, in which he
was glad to give his
