PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S DEATH – The President went to Warm Springs to get in shape for the San Francisco Conference. There the air was soft, the sun warm. By day he went for drives through the green forests. At night he slept in the “Little White House,” a frame cottage atop Pine Mountain. At 1 p.m. on the afternoon of April 12 he was working in his study. Two of his cousins sat nearby. He had just signed a bill extending the life of the Comodity Credit Corporation. He sat at a card table beside the fireplace while an artist made sketches of him. Suddenly he said, “I have a terrific headache.” In a few minutes he lost conciousness. His Negro valet and a Filipino mess boy carried him to the bedroom, laid him on the single bed made of maple. To the little room came Commander H.G. Bruenn, a Navy Doctor, Liet. Commander George Fox, medical aide, and Dr. James Paullin, Atlanta physician. They were the people with him at 3:35 p.m. when Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, died. The cause of death was a “massive cerebral hemorrhage.” ….. 1945 LIFE Magazine Article, A5331. 19450423
