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:

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.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-06-2016 09:16 AM

(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.
