The Morbid Curse of Robert Todd Lincoln?

Robert Todd Lincoln, the president's oldest son, was at Lincoln's side when he
passed away in 1865. Years later, as Secretary of War, Todd Lincoln was present
and ready to meet President James A Garfield, when Garfield was assassinated. And,
when Todd Lincoln entered the Pan-American Exposition Hall in Buffalo, NY,
President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist.
