Robert Todd Lincoln was in the train station when Garfield was shot, was a member of McKinley’s cabinet and of course was by his dad when he died. Dr. Doctor Bliss (yes, his first name was Doctor) “treated” Lincoln and Garfield...and was actually more responsible for Garfield’s death than the shooter (Charles Guiteau) as he introduced the infections that killed him months later.
Thanks, gorush....a new tidbit of history to add to the memory bank.
