Thousands who witnessed the funeral procession as it moved from the McKinley home on Market Avenue N to the church services were “Hushed and Broken in Heart” as they watched the cortege. Mrs. McKinley spent a half hour alone with the casket but she would not attend the funeral services, instead staying at home the rest of the day.

Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Americanization Department. Wraps. [2], 27, [3] pages. Minor cover wear. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, formally the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, (VFW) is an organization of U.S. war veterans headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The Veterans of Foreign Wars was established by James C. Putnam on September 29, 1899, in Columbus, Ohio. Its membership consists of veterans who, as soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen served that Nation in wars, campaigns, and expeditions on foreign soil or in hostile waters. The VFW resulted from the amalgamation of several societies formed immediately following the Spanish?American War. In 1899, little groups of veterans returning from campaigning in Cuba and the Philippine Islands, founded local societies upon a spirit of comradeship known only to those who faced the dangers of that war side by side. Similar experiences and a common language drew them together. More
