THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth
president of the United States, is
dead. He died at his home en Saga
more Hill, Oyster Bay, Monday morn
ing at 4 o’clock, after an illness of
several weeks of rheumatism. His
death was entirely unexpected, as his
condition was not considered serious.
Apparently neither Colonel Roose
velt nor his wife had any forboding
that death would soon still his active
mind and body. It was only Sunday
i,« that Mrs. Roosevelt sent a letter to
\ Charles Stewart Davison, chairman of
the general citizens’ committee ap
pointed to welcome returning soldiers
in New York, announcing that the
colonel would accept the honorary
chairmanship of the committee.
“The rheumatism has invaded Colo
nel Roosevelt’s right hand,” wrote
Mrs. Roosevelt, “so he wants me to
write that he has telegraphed his ac
ceptance. This note is to assure you
that he will be at your service by
spring time.”
It was 4:15 o’clock Monday morning
that the former president died in his
sleep, painlessly. His death was due
directly to a blood clot lodged in one
lung, the result of inflammatory
rheumatism.
“Put out the light, please,” were the
former president’s last words. They
were addressed to his personal at
tendant, James Amos, a young negro
who had been in his service since he
left the White house and who was sit
ting at the foot of his bed.
Some time later Amos noticed that
the patient was breathing heavily and
becamed alarmed. He left the room
to call the nurse who had been sum
moned from Oyster Bay yesterday.
When they returned Colonel Rooseve!
had breathed his last. They called
Mrs. Roosevelt, the only member of
the family who was at home. There
had been a family gathering Christ
mas day, but as no alarm was felt
over the colonel’s condition, the chil
dren who were able to spend the holi
days with their parents had gone to
different parts of the country.
He was laid to rest Wednesday in
Young’s memorial cemetery in the
little village of Oyster Bay in
a grave on a knoll overlooking

Long Island Sound, a spot he per
sonally had selected several years
ago. The funeral, attended by many
notables of the United States and the
diplomatic corps of other nations on
service here, was simple in extreme.
This was the expressed desire of Mrs.
Roosevelt and in accord- with the
wishes of the ex-president. Flags on
all public buildings in the United
States were placed at half-mast on
announcement of his death and all
military posts of the army and vessels
and stations of the navy will observe
a thirty days period of mourning for
their former commander-in-chief.
In O’Neill the flags at the court
house and postoffice were at half
mast, and expressions of grief were
heard on all sides and from political
friend and foe alike over the death of
the greatest man of modern times.
