tuesday-johnson: Abraham Lincoln’s son, Robert, was present or nearby at three successive presidential assassinations: On April 14, 1865, his parents invited him to accompany them to Ford’s Theater. He remained at the White House and heard of his father’s death near midnight. On July 2, 1881, he was an eyewitness to Garfield’s assassination at Washington’s Sixth Street Train Station. On Sept. 6, 1901, he was present at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y., when McKinley was shot. In 1863, a stranger saved his life in a Jersey City train station. The stranger was Edwin Booth — the brother of John Wilkes Booth, his father’s future assassin. via
