RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - J. Beckert - 09-03-2016
Mary Lincoln.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 09-03-2016
Abigail Powers Fillmore
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-03-2016
Great guesses, Bill and Gene, but Joe is correct!.

Sorry, I meant to post this earlier - my source:

As for MTL, it is probably inaccurate to declare this as her First Lady coiffure:
(To complain, please, contact the NYT!)

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."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-05-2016
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
Garfield?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-06-2016
That is a very logical answer, Eva, but it was not Garfield.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-06-2016
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
Correct - it's not Kennedy, Lincoln, or any of the ones still living.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-06-2016
(I must admit I was too curious and meanwhile cheated, so I am off the race.)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-06-2016
Hint #1: He was a 20th century President.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 09-06-2016
I'll guess Woodrow Wilson
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-06-2016
Logical guess, Gene, but the correct President came later in the century.
