The Curse of Tippecanoe

Main article: Curse of Tippecanoe

The Curse of Tippecanoe is attributed to Tenskwatawa, or The Prophet, the brother of the famous Shawnee leader, Tecumseh. The Prophet is said to have cursed William Henry Harrison while on his deathbed. He cursed not only Harrison, but the office of the President. The Prophet said Harrison would be elected President, but would die soon after taking office, and every twenty years after Harrison a President will die in office. From 1841 to 1963, all U.S. Presidents who had been elected in a year ending in 0 died in office. These seven Presidents were:

• 1840 – William Henry Harrison, who died in 1841 during his first term;
• 1860 – Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated in 1865 during his second term;
• 1880 – James A. Garfield, who was assassinated in 1881 during his first term;
• 1900 – William McKinley, who was assassinated in 1901 during his second term;
• 1920 – Warren G. Harding, who died in 1923 during his first term;
• 1940 – Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who died in 1945 during his fourth term;
• 1960 – John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963 during his first term.

---

• 1980 – Ronald Reagan, initially elected in 1980, narrowly survived an assassination attempt in 1981 during the first of his two terms.
• 2000 – George W. Bush, initially elected in 2000, served two full terms without dying. Nevertheless, there were three assassination attempts.^[6]

---

• Of all the Presidents who have died in office, Zachary Taylor was the only one not elected in a 0 year. He was elected in 1848, but died in a year ending in 0 (1850). He was also a Whig like Harrison; the only Whig presidents elected both died in office.

Burial sites

Also see Category:Burial sites of Presidents of the United States

• Eighteen states (California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Vermont), as well as the District of Columbia, lay claim to Presidential burial sites.
• More Presidents (7) are buried in Virginia than any other state.
• The only President buried in the District of Columbia is Woodrow Wilson, who was interred in the National Cathedral.
• Additionally, there are three sites - United First Parish Church, Quincy, Massachusetts, Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, and Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia - which are home to two Presidents. John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams are entombed in the crypt of the United First Parish Church. William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy are buried in Arlington National Cemetery. John Tyler and James Monroe are both buried in Hollywood Cemetery (although Monroe was originally interred in New York City, the place of his death).
• Because the State of Virginia was part of the Confederate States of America at the time of his passing in 1862, John Tyler could be considered the only President not only to have died outside U. S. soil, but also to have been buried there. Additionally, Tyler was the only U.S. President to have a Confederate flag draped over his coffin.
