the grave was Brig. Gen. Elliot
Roosevelt, the second son, on the
left.
Mrs. Roosevelt, her face wan ano
drawn, its pallor contrasting with
her black attire, was on Elliotrs
right. Next to her was the only
daughter, Anna. and her husband
Col. John Boettiger.
Behind them were the daugh-
ers-in-law-wives of the boys who
are all in service. Behind them
stood President and Mrs. Truman,
taking an inconspicuous, role in
a moment in history reserved for
the dead, rather than for the iv-
ing.
"All the Father giveth Me shall
come to Me-" the Rev. Mr.. An
thony said.
A lone plane circling above al
most drowned his words as he
declared that unit Almighty God
I'VE commit his body to the

There was a stirring in the
crowd.
BLESSED are the dead who die
In the Lord" the rector intoned.
Lord, have mercy Upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon US. Lord,
have mercy upon u.s."
The pastor repeated the words
of the Lords Prayer. Elliott's Lips
moved with hi.::.
The services followed the ordi-
nary Episcopal buried rites for
the dead. There were no words
of eulogy, only the Word of God.
Near it's conclusion, the Rev.
Mr.. Anthony recited the poem
written by John Ellerton in 1870:
'NoW the 1aborer's tack is DER;
now the battle-day is past
'Father, in thy gracious keep
ing we now leave thy servant
sleeping the rector continued.
The services were brief. They
were over at 10:45 The flag
which Mrs. Roosevelt clutched
tightly was handed to Elliott, and
the family filed out.
President Truman left for the
village station in Hyde Park, fol-
lowed by the other dignitaries
present, to return to Washington
on the special train.
Mrs. Roosevelt and other mem
bers of the family walked out
slowly, and went to the manor
house.
Several onlookers reached earth
