MRS. EISENHOWER'S MOTHER DIES AT 82

Funeral services for Mrs. Eisenhower's mother, Mrs. Elivera Doud, 82, were held Sept. 30 at Denver, Colo. Death had come to Mrs. Doud in her sleep.

President and Mrs. Eisenhower flew to Denver for the funeral, which only a few close friends of the family attended. The services were held in the old-fashioned parlor of the home where the President and Mamie Eisenhower were married 45 years ago.

Eisenhower, who will be 70 years old Oct. 14, is now the oldest chief evacuative [sic] in the nation's history.
