MARION, Ohio.—While a sorrowing nation paid
its last silent tribute to the memory of Warren
Gamaliel Harding, the body of the late president left
the little home of his father where it has lain in state
for the past twenty-four hours, and began the short
trip to the cemetery where it will be committed to
rest forever beneath the shade of the two gigantic
oaks which stand guard over the graves of the
mother and sister of the departed executive.
At three o’clock central time, the hour at which
the final ceremonies take place, the entire country
will cease business and pleasure alike and stand rev
erently silent as the last words are spoken over the
body of the man who until a few short days ago had
been the chief executive of this nation.
