RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - AussieMick - 08-03-2021
James Madison?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2021
I am sorry, Eva and Michael, but the correct answer is another President. The correct one came later than your two guesses.

Van Buren?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 08-03-2021
James Buchanan?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Joe Di Cola - 08-03-2021
McKinley
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-03-2021
You are correct, Joe! Well done. With his wife, Ida, by his bedside, President William McKinley's last words were, "Good-bye, All! Good-bye! It is God's Way. His will be done."
McKinley had been shot at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. He was taken to the Milburn house where he lingered for several days before dying.
If anyone is interested in purchasing an engraving of the passing of McKinley please go here:

Huh, I have this beach towel of him but he looks much younger on the "bill":

(I must say my towel is nicer, greenish instead of grey, and cost only 5€...)

That's neat, Eva!

No googling, please.
On the last day of his life this former President spent time in the morning working on a jigsaw puzzle of George Washington.
Not feeling well he went up to his room to lay down very early in the afternoon.
Shortly thereafter, his wife found him dead on the bathroom floor adjacent to his bedroom. His cause of death was a heart attack.
Who was he?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 08-05-2021
Was it Woodrow Wilson?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - AussieMick - 08-05-2021
Harry Truman?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-06-2021
Neither answer is correct, but they are close in that the death of the correct President happened in the 20th century.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Wild Bill - 08-06-2021
Warren Harding
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-06-2021
Very close, Bill, but it's not Harding.
