They were married for 58 years and linked in their common goal of creating a better and more just community and nation. And united. They also were in death, leaving this world just one day apart. In late December of 1928, the two were buried together in the veterans section of the Mount Rest cemetery, with flags flown at half mast and a large funeral procession going past the family home on South Clinton Avenue. May their life and story be a memory and a blessing and an inspiration to all of us, forever preserved here in the permanent record of the people's house. (14:04–14:19)
