Interesting that Three of the first five U.S. presidents died on July 4. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died in 1826, the 50th anniversary of the country’s birth. Adams’ last words were “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” James Monroe, the fifth president, died five years later in 1831

“Adams’ last words were “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” “

Completely unaware that Jefferson had died hours earlier.
