All That Is Mortal of William McKinley -
ley Committed to the Grave In His
Ohio Home Thousands Pay Touch-
i Ing Tribute Imposing Funeral Pro
cession.
Canton , O. , Sept. 20. With majestic
solemnity , surrounded by his country
men nml his townspeople , In the pres
ence of the president of tha United
States , the cabinet , the justices of the
United States Hiipronic court , senators
and representatives in congress , the
Heads of the military and naval estab
lishments , the governors of states
and n great concourse of people , who
had known him , all that Is mortal of
the third president to fall by an assas
sin's bullet was committed to the
grave yesterday. It was a spectacle
of grandeur. Canton ceased to be a
U'KI.NLUY IIUIUAL PLOT , CANTON.
mtt town and swelled to the proportions
rvi-A of a Great city. From every city and
liamlct in Ohio , from the remote corners -
ners of the south and the east and
west , the human tide flowed into the
town , until 100,000 people were within
Its gates , h ° re to pay th 'r last trib
ute to the fallen chief.
The final scenes at the First Metho-
fllst church , where the funeral serv
ice , were held , and at the beautiful
West. Lawn cemetery , where the body
was consigned to a vault , were simple
and impressive. The services at the
church consisted of a brief oration ,
prayers and the singing by a quartet.
The body 'was then taken to West
Lawn cemetery and placed in a re
ceiving vault , pending the time it will
bo laid to rest beside the dead children
. who were buried years ago. The fu
neral procession was very Imposing
and included not only the reprcsenta-
lives of the army and the navy of the
United States , but the entire military
strength of the state of Ohio , and hun
dreds of civic , fraternal and other
organizations. It was two miles long.
Ono of the most pathetic features of
the day was the'absence of Mrs. Me-
Kinley from the funeral services at
the church and cemetery when the
body of her husband was laid to rost.
Since the first shock of the shooting ,
then of death , through the ordeal of
state ceremonies , s'.ie had borne up
bravely. But there was a limit' to
human endurance , and when yesterday
came it found her too weak to pass
through the trials of 'the final cere
monies. Through the open door of
her room she heard the prayer of the
minister as the body was homo out of
the house. ' Dr. Rixoy remained close
by her side and , although the full force
of the calamity had come upuu her , it
was believed by those about her that
there'was a providential mercy in her
tears , as they gave some relief to the
anguish of the heart within.
At1 .7 'o'clock last night President
Roosevelt and his cabinet started back
to Washington.
Streets Jammed With People.
For many hours before the time
set for the commencement of the fu
neral services at the McKinley home ,
the streets along the entire length of
the line of march were crowded with
spectators. From the gates of the
cemetery to the doors of the church ,
there was on each side of the street
an almost unbroken line of soldiers
and at the intersecting streets detach
ments of militia were placed , about
100 foot from the thoroughfare upon
. which the cortege was to go , and no
body was permitted to pass in cither
direction. There Vas not a window
that commanded a view of the line of
march that was not filled with faces ,
the numerous stands were crowded to
their utmost , and on the roofs were
hundreds of people. From 0 o'clock
in the morning until 5 in the afternoon ,
which tlmo the last of the parade had
passed the church on its way to the
cemetery , this condition prevailed.
All day long the streets were kept
clear by the military , and not a vc-
liiclo of any description was permitted
to enter upon them.
Notwithstanding the dense crowds ,
there wore no accidents of any kind
reported.
No greater reverence has over been
to any man , living or don. . iau |
was exhibited toward the dead pro | .
dent. As the funeral car punned
through the streets men and women
sobbed convulsively and at the cemetery -
tery gates , whore the < rowil was
densely packed and where the people
had remained for hours , pressing
against the iron foneo , two women
fainted during the exorcises at the
vault.
It was n. wonderful tribute of stir-
panslng love that \\UB yesterday shown
In his natlvo place to the memory of
William McKlnloy. and It will bo long
before greater or inoro loverStt honor
is paid to any man.
For nearly an hour before the head
of the tunoral procession arrived at
the gate of the cemetery , the strains
of the dlrgos played by the band came
over the hilltops to the watchers by
the vault , tolling thorn that the pro
cession was on its way. Finally at
3:30 : o'clock the detachment of mount
ed pollco , heading the procession ,
came around the corner and passed
up to the cemetery gates , llohtnd thorn
came the Grand Army band of Canton ,
the solemn notes of "Nearer , My God ,
to Thee , " wolllng out as it came up
the driveway. Behind the band came
the Grand Army posts , fully 500 of the
veterans marching by. As they
passed along the flower strewn path ,
many of them were weeping bitterly ,
and they stooped by dozens to gather
the blossoms which lay at their foot
and carried them away as mementoes.
After the veterans came In well sot
ranks the men of the Sixth Ohio infan
try of the National Guard , the engi
neer corps of the National Guard from
Cleveland and the comrades of the
late president in the ranks of the
Twenty-third Ohio volunteers during
the civil war.
Then came a long line of carriages
bearing the members of the family and
the distinguished visitors. From the
first carriage that stopped at the foot
of the walk , loading up to the vault ,
President Roosevelt alighted , walked
slowly toward the vault and took a
position close to the door.
As Secretary Hoot came up ho assumed
sumod a similar position on the other
side of the walk , and the other cabinet
members arranged themselves by the
sides of the president and secretary.
The president and members of the
cabinet were followed by officers of
the army and navy , who stood on each
side of the walk , the lines reaching
just to the edge of the roadway.
Within a minute after the formation
of the lines the funeral car came up to
the walk. The casket was lifted from
the hearse and borne to the door of
the vault , where It was rested on the
catafalque. It was carried by the same
men of the army and navy who have
carried it ever since It left Buffalo.
Colonel Blnglmm waved his hand to
eight buglers of the Canton band , who
had taken station upon the side of
the mound. Instantly from the eight
bugles rang out the notes of the sol
dier's last call "taps. " It was beau
tifully done and the last notes of the
bugles died away so softly that all
who heard It remained listening for
a few seconds to hear if it was really
ondod. When the last note had floated
away Secretary Wilson was in tears ,
Secretary Hitchcock was also weeping
and the president was gazing grimly
at the walk. It was the last moment
for the men who had been so closely
associated with the president for so
long and the thought sec-mod to most
of them greater than they could bear.
Soldiers Stand Guard.
It was exactly four minutes past 4
o'clock when the funeral car bore the
remains of the dead president through
the gateway of his last resting place.
Twenty minutes after that time the
brief ceremony at the vault was over ,
the members of the family and distin
guished men of the nation , who had
come so far to do him honor , had
passed through the gates on their
homeward way. One hour and twenty
minutes after the hearse had entered
the cemetery the place was clear anil
the dead president was resting alone
under the watchful care of the men
of the regular army. A * sentry's tread
resounded from the cement walk be
fore the vault , another kept vigil on
the grassy slope above , , and at the
head and foot of the casket stood
armed men.
His Last Resting Place.
Nature has boon kind in selecting
the last resting place for President
McKinley. West Lawn cemetery is
on a high knoll , overlooking the peace
ful valley , with the little city of Can
ton laid out below. Here the body of
William McKinley Is laid to rest. The
beauty of the grounds attracted the
attention of the country's best land
scape gardeners , who have journeyoi
hero to study its attractions. Just In
side the stately entrance stands the
gray stone vault , whore for a time the
casket will repose. Its dreary ex
terior was relieved by great masses
of flowers , banked all about until the
gray walls were shut out from view
But In duo tlmo it will he taken from
the vault and committed to the little
plot of ground lying further on. Thi
Is the McKinley lot and hero Ho hi
father , whose name ho bore , the
mother he guarded so tenderly In life
his brother James , his sister Anna
and his two children. And when tha
tlmo comes a stately shaft of granite
will arise above the grave tolling o
the civic virtues , the pure life and th
martyred death of William McKlnloj
