There Surgent: President McKinley On Life And Death

By Steve Berman | March 22, 2016, 11:40am

There is only one American still alive who lived while William McKinley was president. Susannah Mushatt Jones was born on July 6, 1899. She will be 117 years old this summer, and she lives in Brooklyn.

Everyone else is dead. That’s a morbid thought, but it’s true: 100 percent of us will end our mortal lives on the earth. Not one of us is likely to see the year 2136 (I borrowed that from my pastor–thank you Pastor Mark).

 

McKinley was the last governor of Ohio to ascend to the presidency. He won his second term in 1900 and gave his inaugural address on March 4, 1901. Then he took a grand tour of the United States by rail, summering on the west coast, then traveling back through his native Canton, Ohio (just over an hour from the site of the 2016 Republican National Convention) to Buffalo, New York.

28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

 

29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

 

30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.

 

31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”
