Simultaneously, in great citles and tiny hamlets the length and | breadth of the United States, the rush and bustle of daily life was stilled for a short span, and men, women and children stood silent, honoring Warren G. Harding. In most communities the period of silence, varying from one to | five minutes, was observed ac that moment when a signal announced | that the late presidents’ remains ‘had been laid in the crypt in Marion.

Silence gave the nation a quiet instant for | reverence. MARION CEMETERY, Aug. 10.—A bugler sounded taps,” the long drawn notes sobbing aw: into silence. In Marion cemetery on Gospel hill, a vast crowd stood, weeping. Warren G. Harding had been laid at rest. As the choir sang “Nearer My God to Thee,” just before the casket was borne into a vault by the honor guard of service men, Mrs. Harding sobbed. It was the first time she had revealed her grief. | The services at the cemetery were brief and simple, a prayer, the old hymns, “Lead Kindly Light,” and “Nearer My God to Thee,” a gospel reading and a benediction. | Then the casket was carried into the gloom of a tree- haded vault, while the new president and all the high offi- jcials of the federal government stood with bowed heads, | -As. the tremendous crowd streamed away toward the jcemetery gates a guard of United States army regulars took |up their vigil beforé the tomb. | It was over. | | | | THOUSANDS ATTEND jmembers of Cleveland's “black FINAL CEREMONY hor troop, whick escorted the | Thousands were sitting and stand. | President at his inauguration, but which, at the request of Mrs, Hard- ing about the cemetery an hour be-|ing was excluded from perticia: |tion in the funeral itself.
