Tree Memorializes Wilson at North Carolina Cathedral
Woodrow Wilson’s boyhood memory was honored with a pine tree planted at the Episcopal cathedral on Mount St. Alban and a pine wreath placed on his tomb. Local North Carolinians led by Mrs. Charles Fisher Taylor organized the ceremony, with Miss Serane Williams of Wallace delivering the tree and Dr. William Joseph Martin sending the wreath from Davidson College. A Woodrow Wilson Davidson College Scholarship Memorial is expected to arise from the services. Representative Abernathy and former private secretary to Josephus Daniels, Col. EB Britton, praised the memorial, while Miss Margaret Pou acted as color bearer and Chaplain BH. W. Scott offered the invocation. The cathedral accepted the tree on behalf of the church.
