Mrs. Milburn’s Tact
She Thoughtfully Relieved Mrs. McKinley of All Obligations as a Guest.
His position as president of the Pan-American
Exposition made the name of John G. Milburn familiar to thousands of his countrymen
during the past six months or more, while the circumstances in connection with
the death of President McKinley caused the name Milburn to become a household
word.
In the reference to the incidents of the trying
days from September 6 to 14 little or no mention was made by the newspapers
of Mrs. Milburn. The explanation for this is the fact that Mrs. Milburn and
her family were at the seashore when the late President arrived in Buffalo,
but the Milburn house was prepared for the use of President McKinley and his
party during their stay in the exposition city. Although Mrs. Milburn returned
to the city before President McKinley died, she tactfully refrained from assuming
the position of hostess to the presidential party in order to relieve Mrs. McKinley
of all obligations as a guest.
Mrs. Milburn is a woman of splendid character
and prominent in the home and social life of Buffalo, but is not concerned at
all with women’s clubs.
