Death was apparently from heart trouble. M. Coolidge had apparent- ly been dead aboul 15 min- utes when found. The former President had gone to his office, as usual, this morning, and then re- turned home with his secre- tary about 10 o’clock. He had complained of in- digestion for the past two or three weeks but had not con- sulted a doctor for the past month. Mr. Coolidge’s secretary, Harry Ross, said there was nothing to indicate that Mr. Coolidge felt indisposed. The two sat talking for some time, then Mr. Coolidge went upstairs. Ross waited for him to come down and dismiss him for luncheon, as was his cus- tom. He was still waiting when Mrs. Coolidge came home, went upstairs and found her husband dead. DOCTORS CALLED Doctors who were summon- ed and made an examination, said death was due to heart failure. The body was on a bed in a rcom of the house at the Beeches Estate to which he retired at the conclusion of his career in the National Capital. QUIET LIFE Coolidge had been leading a quiet life since his return to Northampton. After Hoov- er was inaugurated, his daily program varied little. Ordi- narily he spent part of the day in his law office, with sional writing upon maga- zine articles. He contributed to several publications. He had rarely been ill. JBern On Vermont Farm Born and reared in the humble surroundings of a Vermont farm, n Coolidge was destined to go successive steps to the highest mightiest office of a great 1, to administer its affairs years and to determine \his Presidential career virtually of his own volition. To the Vice-Presidency and to the Presidency, he brought a shrewd common sense, a quiet per- sonality in vivid . contrast with (Continued on Page Two) oce. s
