This became a little more problematic. Historians place more attention on exact places of birth, undoubtedly because it&#8217;s a more cheerful subject. I began with the shared spreadsheet compiled in the prior article and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/ccc?key=0Ak9jUE8mya8mdFNlZUo1dzAzU0dCZWl4Z1FNcGZfcVE&amp;usp=sharing\">added columns<\/a> for all of the presidential death locations. Then I including as many exact latitude\/longitude coordinates as I could find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1Lal_UgnSjIYeNTEFM4lJcm-4SSg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I overlaid presidential death locations onto the earlier birthplaces map. Some sites might be worth visiting. They included palatial estates later converted into museums and often co-located with presidential libraries. Others, well, they didn&#8217;t have the same appeal. Thus, I probably don&#8217;t need to visit the hospital room where Richard Nixon died of a cerebral edema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Died in Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/46702744445\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/46702744445_755ccce775_b.jpg\" alt=\"The site in New Jersey where President James Garfield died in 1881.

That would be a bit morbid for my tastes. Nonetheless I&#8217;ve trudged over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/foth\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ford&#8217;s Theater<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/foth\/the-petersen-house.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Petersen House<\/a> to see the spot where Abraham Lincoln met his maker. James Garfield, William McKinley and John Kennedy also died violently at the hands of assassins. The other four, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Warren Harding and Franklin Roosevelt died of natural causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garfield barely served as President, elected just a few months before a delusional office-seeker shot him in the waiting room of a Washington, DC train station in 1881. He may have been killed as much by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/10\/02\/books\/review\/destiny-of-the-republic-by-candice-millard-book-review.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inept medical attention<\/a> he received after his injury as by the bullet itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Had Garfield been left where he lay, he might well have survived; the bullet failed to hit his spine or penetrate any vital organs. Instead, he was given over to the care of doctors, who basically tortured him to death over the next 11 weeks. Two of them repeatedly probed his wound with their unsterilized fingers and instruments before having him carted back to the White House on a hay-and-horsehair mattress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors eventually brought the suffering Garfield to a summer cottage on the New Jersey shore in a last-ditch hope that fresh air and cooler temperatures might revive him. Nothing remains of the original cottage and only a granite marker records the place where Garfield spent his final few days (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/bd71zEPKr6H9KeY7A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clusters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/harvardavenue\/2971010226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3221\/2971010226_9d9e317937_o.jpg\" alt=\"Woodrow Wilson's House.

Nonetheless two clusters demonstrated the opposite extreme and offered much tighter groupings than any of the birthplace clusters. Neither location surprised me, nor will they likely surprise the 12MC audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many former presidents remained politically active as they grew older and retained their ties to Washington, DC. One might expect that some of them died there and I counted seven. Three died while in office within the physical boundaries of the District: Lincoln, W.H. Harrison and Taylor (the last two passed away in the White House). John Quincy Adams died in the Speaker&#8217;s Room of the US Capitol Building. Dwight Eisenhower died at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Woodrow Wilson and William Taft died at their post-administration mansions. Wilson&#8217;s home included 39,200 square feet of livable space. Taft&#8217;s home became the Syrian Embassy (until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/us-orders-closure-of-syrian-embassy-in-dc\/2014\/03\/18\/d86aee44-aeb4-11e3-9627-c65021d6d572_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ordered closed<\/a> in March 2014). Maybe I&#8217;ll undertake a Presidential Death Location tour for an upcoming 12MC Bicycle Ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If not politics, then financial power would seem to be attractive to people of this elevated stature. Four of the former presidents ended their days in Manhattan: James Monroe; Chester Arthur; Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Counterintuitive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/22711505@N05\/20662427649\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5651\/20662427649_9063a9d58b_b.jpg\" alt=\"Grant's Cottage -- Wilton (NY) July 2015. Photo by Ron Cogswell; (CC BY 2.0)\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grant Cottage State Historic Site<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I scratched my head in bewilderment at some of the places where presidents died. I never would have guessed that Garfield died at the Jersey Shore. Monroe in Manhattan seemed odd too. He&#8217;d spent the bulk of his retirement in Virginia and moved-in with his daughter Maria only after his wife passed away. Maria had married Samuel L. Gouverneur, a New York City attorney and politician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The placement of Ulysses Grant&#8217;s death also seemed out of context, a cottage in the woods north of Saratoga Springs, New York. Grant spent the final six weeks of his life at the cottage rushing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantcottage.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to complete his memoirs<\/a>. He died of throat cancer three days after finishing his task. The book provided financial comfort for his family after his death and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Complete-Personal-Memoirs-Ulysses-Grant\/dp\/1619491850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remains in print<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sweet Retirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d21700.2779584571!2d-116.417336!3d33.754465!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x80dafd8709cc145b%3A0xed76c5e9dd3dfb0d!2s40471%20Sand%20Dune%20Rd%2C%20Rancho%20Mirage%2C%20CA%2092270!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1616414868838!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some former presidents managed to escape office and retired to lifestyles of leisure. Many of them resided on sprawling estates and lived quite well as they grew older and eventually passed away there. Consider Thomas Jefferson at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monticello.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monticello<\/a>; Andrew Jackson at <a href=\"https:\/\/thehermitage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hermitage<\/a>; Rutherford Hayes at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbhayes.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spiegel Grove<\/a>; Theodore Roosevelt at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/sahi\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sagamore Hill<\/a>; Lyndon Johnson at his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/lyjo\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Johnson Ranch<\/a>. Even later presidents like Gerald Ford seemed to live in style, with Ford&#8217;s home situated conveniently along a golf course in Rancho Mirage, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were other gems.
