Nope, not Wilson.

Hint #2: He did not die in the White House, although he was President when he died.

Yes, Gene! Kudos. Harding became ill on a trip to the West. He was taken to the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. His wife, Florence, was reading to him, and he spoke his last words: "That's good. Go on, read some more." Some accounts say Florence read some more and was in the room when he died (probably from a heart attack). Other accounts say she finished reading and was not in the room, but she ran back in when he collapsed. After he died Florence told the others in the room, "I am not going to break down."

Agree with Eva about Kennedy.
Carter or Reagan for oldest ... just to be different I'll say Reagan

Kudos, Eva! You get a full point and Michael a half point for agreeing with Kennedy.

Now, maybe this will be more challenging. No googling please.

Kudos, Steve! James Garfield was 49 when he passed, and George H. W. Bush was 94 at the time of death. You get the full point; Steve Williams receives a half point.

Roger,

When I watched the funeral proceedings for George H. W. Bush I seem to recall there was mention that only Carter would be older.
