FUNERAL SERVICES FOR PRESIDENT'S MOTHER SEPT. 9
Impressive funeral services were held Tuesday, Sept. 9, at Hyde Park for Mrs. Sara Roosevelt, mother of the President, who passed away Sunday, September 7.
The somber, comforting words of the Episcopal burial service sounded as solemn requiem.
In the church-yard behind the gray, stone edifice, a final resting place awaited her among other Roosevelts who had preceded her in death.
With her distinguished son beside her bed, Mrs. Roosevelt died Sunday at the family home after a circulatory collapse brought on by her advanced age. She was nearly 87.
