Wreath From Queen Victoria





"The death of President Garfield in 1881 moved the Queen...".

"As a gesture of her deep sorrow for Mrs. Garfield and the people of the United States, the Queen sent a large wreath of white tuberose to the funeral."

"Today, visitors to James A. Garfield National Historic Site can see the wreath displayed in the Memorial Library vault." [Source]
