January 30, 1901 - "BOSTONIAN'S WREATH.
Mrs. Sidney Everett's Tribute of Respect to the Dead Queen.
Cowes, Jan. 23. - King Edward left Cowes for London this morning. The Duke of York is suffering from the strain of recent events and has been confined to his room since Thursday. It is feared he will be unable to participate in the ceremonies of Friday. The only American wreath which has arrived at Osborne so far is one from Mrs. Sidney Everett of Boston, who is staying at the Isle of Wight. It is inscribed: " In token of lifelong veneration and reverence."
The outer coffin arrived last night. The non-commissioned officers detailed to carry the coffin rehearsed today with a dummy coffin filled with sand and weighing over half a ton.
The main wing of Osborne House is expected to become the residence of Princess Beatrice (Princess Henry of Battenberg) [This makes no sense but that is what it appears to say.]
Note: Mrs. Sidney Everett is the wife of Sidney B. Everett who, in 1897, being then a resident of Boston was appointed by President McKinley Consul at Batavia, Java. Edward Everett was his grandfather and Prof. William Everett is his uncle."
