Rome, Ga.—Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
wife of the nation’s president, was
buried at Myrtle Hill Cemetery here
yesterday afternoon. Her grave is be
side those of her father and mother,
almost within sight of the house in
which she lived as a girl.
Although thousands of visitors came
to Rome to do honor to the memory
of Mrs. Wilson, a Sabbath-like quiet
prevailed. The special force of police
augmented by members of the Geor

It was exactly 2:30 p. m., when the
president’s special arrived and a few
minutes later the casket, covered with
grey broadcloth and surmounted by
a single wreath of flowers, was lifted
from the funeral car by eight of Mrs.
Wilson's cousins and borne to the

station, church bells throughout the
city were tolled solemnly. A wide
space had been cleared about the
station. and the thousands of people
assembled there stood back respect
fully. Those who bore the casket
were: Edward T. Brown, Atlanta;
Robert M. Hoyt, Wade C. Hoyt, and
Nathan Hoyt, Rome; B. P. Axson. Sa
vannah; Randolph Axson and Edward
T. Brown. Jr., and Frank C. Cebreath,
Atlanta.
The president, followed by Secretary
and Mrs. McAdoo; Mr. And Mrs. Say
er. Miss Wilson, Professor Axson and
other near relatives and members of
the party quickly left the train and
entered their carriages. The proces
sion then moved through black-draped
streets to the First Presbyterian
church.
Relatives and Friends.
More than 800 relatives and friends
of the Wilson and Axson families
were already gathered in the quaint
little church which Mrs. Wilson used
to attend when her father, Rev. Ed
ward S. Axson, was pastor there. The
church was draped in black, with in
tertwined wreaths of white flowers.
On one wall was a white marble tab
let to the memory of Mrs. Wilson’s
father. Banks of flowers were piled
high about the catalfaue on whicn
the casket was placed.
As the president entered, following
the casket, Chopin’s funeral march
was played softly upon the organ A
simple, short service was conducted
by Rev. G. G. Sydnor, the local pastor.
The president and his daughters, with
secretary McAdoo and Mr. Sayre oc
cupied the front pew in the center,
and back of them were other mem
bers of the family, and Dr. Grayson
an I Secretary Tumulty. Two old
fashioned hymns, girlhood favorites
of Mrs. Wilson, were sung by the
hurch choir. Rev. Dr. Sydnor then
read briefly from the scriptures and
spoke of the beaut, and charity of
Mrs. Wilson’s life and character.
Dressed in White.
As soon~*as the church service wai
ended the casket was carried to the
waiting hearse and the short journey
to Myrtle Hill cemetery was begun.
School girls, dressed in white and
holding aloft laurel branches, stood In
line along either side of the streets
through which the procession passed.
Behind them were thousands of peo
ple, with heads bowed, silent and sor
rowful. The entire city was draped
in funeral black in honor of the sad
occasion.
The cortege was close to the cem
etery when rain began to fall. The
storm rapidly grew worse, the down
pour soon became torrential. A tent
erected over the grave gave partial
shelter to the little family group, but
the thousands of people who came to
witness the burial were without pro
tection.
With Head Bowed.
Services at the grave were brief
and marked by impressive simplicity.
The president stood with head bowed
as the final rites were performed. He
made no effort to control his grief.
As the preacher read the burial ser
vice, the president’s form was visibly
shaken by his strong emotion, and the
tears streamed unchecked down his
cheeks. Others of the party wept
silently. When the final benediction
was pronounced the president slowly
returned to his carriage. His eyes
were as those of one dazed, but his
step was firm and his face was stern
and set.
After the casket was lowered to its
final resting place, and the grave fill
ed, vast heaps of flowers, the tribute
of the nation, were piled high over
the tomb.
Pass Girlhood’s Home.
On the way to the cemetery the
procession passed the house where
Mrs. Wilson lived as a girl, and an
other spot above the banks of the
Etowah river where tradition has it
that she promised to become the fu
ture president’s bride. Nearby was
a statue to the women of the
South, the inscription on which
was written by the president a few
years ago. On every side were scenes
which recalled vividly to him the
days of his young manhood and mem
ories of her who now lies In a grave
in her old home.
Within less than four hours from
the hour the funeral train arrived,
the president and his party were once
more on board their special cars, and
the return journey was begun.
President Wilson remained by the
grave of his wife until the casket had
been completely covered with concrete
and steel. At the head of the grave
there stands a plain, white stone,
bearing the names of Mrs. Wilson’s
father and mother. Tt. is» understood
that the president will later have a
larger monument erected.
Present Arms.
As the president returned to his
private car, he pased between double
lines of national guardsmen standing
at attention with their arms at “pre
sent.” Several of Mrs. Wilson’s for
mer schoolmates were greeted by
Mr. Wilson as he stood bareheaded

Just you get a whiff of “the national
joy smoke” and it’s dollars to dough
nuts you beat it ’cross lots to the
nearest store that sells tobacco —
and stock up! The flavor and
aroma of Prince Albert has got ’em
all backed off the boards. It sure
will hit the spot with you. Get the

the national joy smoke
just does all that we say it will do.
It can’t bite your tongue and it
can’t parch your throat. All this
is because P. A. is made by a
patented process that cuts out the
bite ! Why, this process has simply
revolutionized smoking tobacco.
Prince Albert rolls up the bulliest
makin’s cigarette you or any other
man ever smoked. It puts the jolt
of joy right into your system.
You can just do “makin’s” sunrise
to sunset and have a lot of fun.
Why, P. A. in a cigarette is abso

outside his car. The special train left
here a minute or two after 6 o’clock
and soon afterward the president re
tired for the night. He had slept but
little since Mrs. Wilson died, and
showed the effects of his sorrowful
vigil.
Professor Axson tonight sent the
following telegram to Mrs. Edward
Elliot, Mrs. Wilson’s only sister,
whose Illness in California prevented
her from attending the funeral:
“We have buried sister beside fath
er and mother.”

You may think it strange that so
many people are cured of stomach
trouble by Chamberlain’s Tablets You
would not. however, If you should give
them a trial. They strengthen and
invigorate the stomach and enable it
to perform its functions naturally. Mrs.
Rosie Rish, Wabash, Ind., writes.
“Nothing did me the least good until
I began using Chamberlain’s Tablets.
It is decidedly the best medicine for
stomach trouble I have ever used.” For
