I and countless others believe that President James Abram Garfield was assassinated by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881, in Washington D.C. while walking through the Baltimore and Potomac railroad station (only 4 months after becoming president), because Guiteau was reportedly mentally ill and upset that he had been repeatedly rejected to be the American consul in Paris. Others believe it is because he was mad that he couldn't run for president. The end result is that Garfield died, tragically in mid September.
James Garfield's nickname for Lucretia Garfield was "Lucy."
Yes, if a son is given all the same names that his father has, and his father is not already a 2nd or 3rd, then the son may be called 2nd, or Junior. If the father is James Allen Garfield, and the son is named James Allen Garfield, then the son can be called either James Allen Garfield II, or James Allen Garfield, Jr. If the father is James Allen Garfield III, then the son is James Allen Garfield IV. If James Allen Garfield I and James Allen Garfield II are no longer living, then James Allen Garfield III could call himself James Allen Garfield, Sr., and his son James Allen Garfield, Jr.
