Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt, Born October 27, 1858, Died January 6, 1919 Mr. Charles P. Norton. Chancellor of the University of Buffalo, presided. Chairman Norton: The meeting will be opened by Councilman Charles M. Heald reading the proclamation of Mayor Buck to the citizens of Buffalo. Councilman Heald then read the following proclamation: Theodore Roosevelt, a most distinguished and beloved citizen of the United States, died peacefully at his home at Oyster Bay in the early morning of January 6. His body will be committed to its last resting place on Wednesday, January the eighth. The people of Buffalo have had an especial interest in the career and in the personality of this great man. It was here that he became president of the United States, after the tragic death of President McKinley in September, 1901, during our Pan-American Exposition. Here he took the oath of office, held his first cabinet meeting and issued his first proclamation, and from here he followed the body of his former chief to the grave. He was a frequent visitor in Buffalo at public gatherings of all kinds, a powerful speaker and an inspiring leader of thought and action among our people. It is fitting, therefore, that the people of Buffalo should gather in some meeting place on the day of his funeral, to pay tribute to his memory and to express their grief at his untimely death. Now, therefore, I, George S. Buck, Mayor of the City of Buffalo, do request our people to assemble for this purpose on Wednesday, the eighth day of January, 1919, at 12:30 o´clock, at the Elmwood Music Hall. Given under my hand this seventh day of January, 1919. (Signed) George S. Buck, Mayor. Chairman Norton: Citizens of Buffalo and Fellow Americans: Pursuant to the proclamation which you have just heard we have met together at this noon hour while the last rites are being paid to Theodore Roosevelt in the little church at Oyster Bay. We are one in spirit with the band of mourners there. We are met to meditate for a while upon this man, our fellow-citizen, our fellow-American, our pride and our glory, and in spirit we stand at his graveside with the shadowy millions of the American people and pay our tribute to him as his body descends into the grave on the hillside in the Memorial Cemetery.
