Roosevelt's family, along with his first wife, Alice Lee, was buried Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery. With Greenwood so distant and Alice a one time rival for Theodore's affection, Edith likely made the decision that they would be buried at the Youngs family graveyard.Just off the road to Oyster Bay village, the hillside burial ground afforded a view of bay that both had known since they were teenagers in the 1870's when their families rented summer homes just down the road.

    ESTABLISHING THE AMERICAN WAY OF DEATH: WORLD WAR I AND THE FOUNDATION OF THE UNITED STATES’ POLICY TOWARD THE REPATRIATION AND BURIAL OF ITS BATTLEFIELD DEAD Kyle J. Hatzinger, B.S. Thesis Prepared for Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED: Geoffrey D.W. Wawro, Major Professor Michael V. Leggiere, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Hatzinger, Kyle J. Establishing the American Way of Death: World War I and the Foundation of the United States' Policy Toward the Repatriation and Burial of Its Battlefield Dead. Master of Arts (History), August 2015, 158 pp., bibliography, 63 titles. This thesis examines the policies and procedures created during and after the First World War that provided the foundation for how the United States commemorated its war dead for the next century. Many of the techniques used in modern times date back to the Great War. However, one hundred years earlier, America possessed very few methods or even ideas about how to locate, identify, repatriate, and honor its military personnel that died during foreign conflicts. These ideas were not conceived in the halls of government buildings. On the contrary, concerned citizens originated many of the concepts later codified by the American government. This paper draws extensively upon archival documents, newspapers, and published primary sources to trace the history of America’s burial and repatriation policies, the Army Graves Registration Services, and how American dead came to permanently rest in military cemeteries on the continent of Europe.

  • The National Cemetery System and the Post-WWI Construction of an International Nationalism
    “Where the Tree Falls”: The National Cemetery System and the Post-WWI Construction of an International Nationalism Allison Lynn Wanger On July 14, 1918, Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt (1897–1918), the youngest son of Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), was killed in aerial combat near Château Thierry, France. Recovered by German soldiers, he was laid to rest in an indi- vidual grave, marked by a cross that was crafted by the enemy out of his plane’s propellers. Over a thousand German troops gathered to pay their respects.1 Correspondence between the former president and military officials concern- ing Quentin’s death circulated in newspapers nationwide. “The death of our son is a bitter affliction”, Roosevelt wrote, “but this affliction would have been more bitter if our boy had not had an ardent desire to face death for such a noble cause”.2 Sending his condolences, General John J. Pershing (1860–1948) sympathized, “You may well be proud of your gift to the nation in his supreme sacrifice”.3 This well-worn nationalistic rhetoric embodied the interwar na- tional cemetery system’s (NCS) memorial mission. Through the establishment of overseas American cemeteries the institution employed classical, allegori- cal, and religious iconography and memorial architecture to imagine the tragic loss of distinctive lives as abstract ideological necessities in the national cru- sade to, in the words of President Woodrow Wilson, “make the world safe for democracy”.4 The nature, politics, and geography of modern global warfare, the interna- tional relations it extended and the death it engendered, influenced the charac- ter and evolution of the government’s investment in a “good” national death.5 1 Due to the fact the Germans recognized Roosevelt as the son of a former president he re- ceived unique treatment.
