Mary Lincoln.

Abigail Powers Fillmore

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:

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?

Garfield?

RJNorton · 09-06-2016, 04:42 AM,

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...

RJNorton · 09-06-2016, 08:43 AM,

Correct - it's not Kennedy, Lincoln, or any of the ones still living.

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.

Gene C · 09-06-2016, 12:37 PM,

I'll guess Woodrow Wilson

RJNorton · 09-06-2016, 12:55 PM,

Logical guess, Gene, but the correct President came later in the century.
