MRS. WILSON'S MOTHER, 82, DIES IN HOTEL HERE
Mrs. William H. Bolling to Be Buried at Former Home, Wytheville, Va.
RITES IN CAPITAL TODAY
Mrs. William H. Bolling, mother of Mrs. Woodrow WIlson, died yesterday in her apartment in the Wardman Park hotel, where she resided with her daughter, Miss Bertha Bolling.
Mrs. Bolling was 82 years old and had been in failing health for several months. She contracted pneumonia while in Atlantic City last June. Although she rallied she never regained her forner strength. Her death yesterday, however, was not expected.
The widow of Judge William H. Bolling, of Wytheville, Va., where she was born, Mrs. Bolling came to Washington in 1903 to be with her children, who had made their homes here, and has resided here since. She will be buried in Wytheville tomorrow afternoon by the side of Judge Bolling after funeral services in St. John's Episcopal church in the little Virginia town. Brief services will be held this afternoon in the home of Mrs. Wilson, 2340 S street, where President Wilson passed the last years of his life. The Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal church, will officiate at the services in Mrs. Wilson's home. Surviving Mrs. Bolling are her children, Rolfe E., Richard Wilmer, Julia [sic] A., John Randolph, Dr. William A. Bolling, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Alexander Hunter Galt and Miss Bertha Bolling. Dr. Bolling resides in Detroit.
The Bolling family quickly achieved a prominent place in the life of Washington, and Mrs. Bolling took an active interest in the affairs of her children. The family was proud of its Virginia ancestry, tracing its history back to the very early colonial days when Indians peopled the Old Dominion. Judge Bolling, a member of the Virginia bench, died in 1899, four years before Mrs. Bolling came to Washington to make her home here. In late years, despite her age, she was actively interested in affairs, and several times traveled with President and Mrs. Wilson.
