#OTD in 1865, 100,000 mourners file past Lincoln's coffin in Buffalo, NY. Among those mourners are former POTUS Fillmore and future POTUS Cleveland. The image shows a close up of the hearse (far left) which carried the remains in a procession in Buffalo.

This safe is reported to have belonged to President McKinley. Location: Bird Cage Theatre, Tombstone, Arizona. The card reads, "This safe was once used by President McKinley. It was brought to Tombstone by his Secretary F.C. Butler, who came to Tombstone for his health." No…
On a recent trip to Washington DC we visited Oak Hill Cemetery and the Carroll Family Mausoleum. This vault served as the temporary resting place of Abe Lincoln's son Willie. Located in a precarious corner section of the cemetery, it is an eerie and sad experience.
President Garfield's shooting was depicted in myriad illustrations. This one is particularly amusing. It inaccurately depicts Gutieau pointing the gun down, practically at the floor, having just fired the gun. It also inaccurately depicts State Sec. Blaine turning and confronting…
Washington Jail. Charles Guiteau was confined in this house of corrections from the date of his arrest for shooting President Garfield, July 2, 1881 until his execution June 30, 1882. It was located near Congressional Cemetery and in view of the Anacostia River.
OTD in 1951, Charles Gates Dawes (VP under Coolidge) passed away from coronary thrombosis at his Evanston (IL) home. He won the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize for his Dawes Plan. In short, and among other aspects, it managed war reparations paid by Germany to WW1 allies. He's related to…
Monday, April 18, 1994, Richard Milhous Nixon was at his Parkridge, New Jersey home when he was struck by a debilitating stroke. The entire right side of his body was paralyzed, save for his foot, and he lost his ability to speak. He was taken to New York Hospital-Cornell Medical…
OTD in 1812, George Clinton (VP under Jefferson, 2nd term, and Madison, 1st term) passed away from a heart attack and/or pneumonia at his friend's home in Washington; he'd been sick for four weeks prior. Two days later his funeral was held in the Capitol. President Madison…
OTD in 2021, Walter Frederick "Fritz" Mondale (VP under Carter) died in his sleep from natural causes at his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He's 1 of 4 VPs to be cremated (the others: Wallace, Agnew, and Rockefeller.) He holds the record for longest post-Vice Presidency at…
OTD in 1853, William Rufus King (VP under Pierce) passed away from tuberculosis on his plantation outside of Selma, Alabama. 1) He is the only VP to take the oath of office outside the country, doing so at the Ariadne Estate near Watangas, Cuba on March 24; 2) the day of his…
OTD in 2018, Barbara Bush passed away from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure at her Houston home. Although wife and husband (11/30/2018) died in the same year, their time apart, at 228 days, is not the shortest among couples. The record goes to…
April 14, 1865, 8:30 PM, Abraham and Mary Lincoln arrive at Ford’s Theatre. Inside, the play-My American Cousin-was nearing the midway point of Act 1 when the Lincolns appeared, escorted by Metropolitan Police Officer John Parker. The play stopped, the orchestra played “Hail to…
OTD in 1865, one bullet forever changed the nation's course of history.
Among the 20th Century Presidents to Lay In State in the U.S. Capitol, Franklin Roosevelt was not one of them. He lay in repose in the White House East Room. Ten Presidents to lay in state in the U.S. Capitol: McKinley, Taft, Harding, Hoover, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford,…
April 12, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt woke up later than usual at his southern retreat, The Little White House, a small home nestled atop Pine Mountain. He was nearing the end of a two week stay, his mind and plans set on an upcoming trip to San Francisco to open the United Nations…

@ChiefFarewell Well done on the correct use of “in state” versus “in repose”!
@ChiefFarewell It’s as “rustic” as it is possible to be. Exposed boards, rough carpentry, industrial type plumbing, minimal “decor”. It’s not at all what one expects a “presidential retreat” to be.

@ChrisDuggan84 @ChiefFarewell The term "laborers" referred to slaves doing non-agricultural unskilled heavy work. For example, Confederate General John Magruder used the term extensively for slaves (and some free blacks) conscripted, donated or rented to build the Richmond defenses. (See RoWoR Sec I, vol 9)
The grave that truly matters the most to me. He is Risen! Happy Easter!
@ChiefFarewell Happy Easter! He is risen indeed!
