Burial will be in flower garden
HYDE PARK, New York (UP) – A secluded flower-bordered garden on the bank of the Hudson River was prepared today for the sad ceremony which will make it a historic national shrine.
The peaceful grassy plot, set apart from the rest of the Roosevelt estate was abloom with spring flowers as if nature had prepared its own funeral garlands for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr. Roosevelt will be buried in his favorite retreat, within sight of the home he loved so well, at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Rev. W. George Anthony, pastor of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, where Mr. Roosevelt was senior warden, will officiate at the service.
