So anyway, I've been looking over more of the hoobellatoo web site. I finally clicked on the blind Washington pic. It lead me to your article of morbid facts about the presidents. I collect these as well. In fact, presidential trivia is one of my passions. You probably already know that:

Wilson had such high blood pressure that he had gone temporarily blind before he became president. His stroke was a foregone conclusion. Like so many men, he refused to take care of himself.

McKinley's wife was prone to seizures. There are well-known stories of the first lady's eyes rolling up into her head during dinner parties, at which time McKinley would cover her head with a napkin until the episode passed, continuing as if nothing had happened.

There is evidence that Lincoln had syphilis, which he passed on to his wife and children, thus offering a theory for their children's high mortality rate and her insanity.

Franklin Pierce also lost three children in infancy, all before he became president. The last was killed in a railroad accident during his incumbency.

None of the men in Lyndon Johnson's family lived much past sixty, there being a history of heart failure in his lineage. This was one of the main driving factors of his ambition.

Of course, everyone knows that Adams and Jefferson died on the same day, July 4, 1826.

Truman, on the other hand was astonishingly robust.

Taft was not only the last president to sport facial hair, but also the last president to maintain a pet cow on the white house lawn, which furnished him with fresh milk.
