Laid to Rest at Princeton in Simple Ceremony
The mortal remains of President Cleveland were laid to rest Friday at Princeton in a quiet service attended by President Roosevelt, Gov. Hughes, Hoke Smith, and cabinet members. The house service opened with prayers, readings, and a poem, followed by a grave ceremony as mounted police and National Guards lined the route. Business halted and streets filled with mourners as the cortege passed, with a brief graveside service before most guests departed.
