Biographical History

President William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States. He was beginning his second term as President after winning the election in 1900. On Sept. 5, 1901 he and his wife were attending the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York when he was shot by as assassin waiting in line to shake his hand. After being attended by physicians, he was resting at the exposition's director's home in Buffalo, NY. He seemed to be recovering when his condition rapidly worsened on Sept. 14th. President McKinley passed away late that night on Sept. 14, 1901. On Sept. 17, 1901 there was an article in the Olympia, WA newspaper announcing the plans for Memorial Services to be held in Olympia, WA. A committee was formed with sub-committees for the arrangements of the memorial which included a parade, music, finance and the program. The Service was to be held in the open air, weather permitting. It took place at the main entrance to the capitol building on Washington Street in Olympia, WA. The Committee requested that every organization in Olympia take part in the Service. The public was asked to join the procession. The Superintendent allowed all school children to participate in the procession. The children participated in singing during the Service, as well as, all the church choirs. Some individual churches also held religious ceremonies that same day.
