Great guesses, Bill and Gene, but Joe is correct!.

As for MTL, it is probably inaccurate to declare this as her First Lady coiffure:

Which U.S. President's last word was, "Help."

Just read that chapter in The President is Dead! John Adams asked that of his granddaughter, Susanna. "Help me, child, help me."

You are a winner, Laurie, as your answer is excellent.
However, the word "Help" was the final word of another President. Who was this?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-05-2016 06:11 PM
Garfield?

That is a very logical answer, Eva, but it was not Garfield.

I could rule out Kennedy, Lincoln, and the living ones, which leaves 34 to eliminate...
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-06-2016 08:43 AM
Correct - it's not Kennedy, Lincoln, or any of the ones still living.

(I must admit I was too curious and meanwhile cheated, so I am off the race.)

Hint #1: He was a 20th century President.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 09-06-2016 12:37 PM
I'll guess Woodrow Wilson
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-06-2016 12:55 PM
Logical guess, Gene, but the correct President came later in the century.
