Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, widow of President Woodrow Wilson, died yesterday, the 28th of December, 1961 in her home on S street in Washington DC. Her last public appearance was at President Kennedy’s inauguration parade. Since her husband’s death Mrs. Wilson worked hard to protect his memory, keeping false quotations and letters from being published. There was talk in 1927 that Mrs. Wilson might be put on the Democratic ticket as Vise President, but those rumors were quickly put to and end by Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson has also traveled to Europe many times since her husband’s death, 15 times total. On all these trips Mrs. Wilson stayed in Geneva and attended League of Nations meetings. Edith Wilson was a President’s wife with many firsts. She was the first First Lady to play golf, and beat her husband almost every time. Edith was also the first woman in Washington to drive a car. She was an extraordinary lady. Mrs. Wilson published one book in her lifetime. In 1939 her book, My Memoir, was published. The purpose of the book was to justify her time running the country and tell of her love for Mr. Wilson
