Mrs. Truman died Saturday morning, victim of a tired heart that had threatened her life for months. She broke her hip In a fall in February and. although it mended, she had been In bed almost constantly since. She was buried In a plain metal casket. Iler blue dress with a flowered dickey was one she bought last winter for a proposed second visit to the White House. The trip was cancelled when she fell. The cottage where she spent her last six years was prepared for the funeral rites in strictest simplicity. A plain wreath hung at the door. Even had the plans been otherwise, few besides the memiters of the family could have found room in the small living room. Her two doctors — Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, White House physician, and Dr. Joseph Green, the family physician from nearby Independence — were the only persons outside the family at the services. Grandview's 1.200 residents paid their last respects to their neighbor yesterday when the barricades on the streets were lowered and they passed quietly by the casket in twos and threes. With typical mid-western neighborliness, closest friends brought pies, cakes and covered dishes for the family. The president spent the entire day at the cottage yesterday except for two hours in midafternoon when he left with his daughter. Margaret. There were no flowers. His mother recently told the president that flowers were for people who ware alive to enjoy them—not for the dead. local\outh HentlaeeU from Page 1) existent fifth floor office with a
