Harry Truman's Funeral at the Truman Presidential Library in Independence MO was limited to the 250 who could be seated in the Library's auditorium. Most of the guests were family and friends, but some did stretch back to his presiedential days. The original plan for his Funeral was an elaborate State Funeral in Washington DC which we have seen recently with the deaths of Presidents Reagan and Ford. However, by this time Mrs. Bess Truman was quite elderly and frail, and her daughter Margaret decided this would too much of an ordeal for her mother. So it was decided that everything would be held in Independence. Mrs. Truman remained at home resting when the public visitation began the day before the Funeral. Margaret, her husband Clifton Daniel and her four sons were there. President and Mrs. Nixon and Former President and Mrs. Johnson came that day to pay their respects. After visiting the Library and spending some time at President Truman's casket they called on Mrs. Truman at the family home in Independence. Mrs. Bess Truman went on to live ten more years, dying at the age of 97 in her home in Independence. Her Funeral was held in the Church she attented, Trinity Episcopal Church. There the guest list was limited to 150, most of whom were relatives and local friends. Three First Ladies did attend her Funeral however, Betty Ford, Rosalyn Carter and Nancy Reagan. Mrs. Truman was then buried next to her husband in the Courtyard of the Truman Library. In February of 2008 the ashes of Margaret and her husband Clifton (who died in 2000) were buried near her parents in the Courtyard.
Starting with Abigail Adams in 1800, virtually all of presidents who had wives, had wives that improved the White House, or at least shaped it more into their tastes. Mrs. Fillmore added the library. Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs Kennedy and Mrs Reagan all spent a lot of money (not from the federal treasury) on the White House. The White House was rebuilt for Mrs. Monroe. Mrs. Truman was there during a large-scale renovation.
