WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—(By Associated Press.)—Former President
Woodrow Wilson died at 11:15 o’clock this morning.
The place of his entombment and whether his funreal will he public
or private will be determined later.
The end was peaceful, life ebbed away while he slept.
A tired man, he closed his eyes, and, “sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust,” passed on to the great hereafter “like one who wrap*
the drapery of his couch about him, and lies there to pleasant dreams.”
Dr. Grayson, his friend and physician, announced the end of the great
was President in this bulletin:
“Mr. Wilson died at 11:15 o’clock. His heart’s action became feebler
and feebler, and the heart muscle was so fatigued that it refused to
act any longer. The end came peacefully.
“The remote causes of death lie in his ill health which began mor«
than four years ago, namely: general arterio-schlerosis with haemopligia.
