a is not correct. Yes, he was a 19th century President.

To clarify- the author wasn't dead at the time he wrote the content of the quote.

Elizabeth Keckley and Willie Lincoln ?

A good guess Gene but it's not correct.

Great statement someone made after he died to the effect that death had to take TR in his sleep because if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.

This is a great guess but not correct. Sorry for the confusion. My first reply to Eva when she asked "Is he dead?" I should have said the author is deceased but not at the time he wrote the quote.

Hint 1. The blank_____ in the quote stands for the letter H.
