Numerology"s Presidential Curse - Don"t Get Elected in a Year Ending in Zero
Eight of our 43 U.
S.
Presidents have died in office; and of those seven were elected in the twenty year cycle beginning in 1840, and ending in 1960.
Is there truly a curse on U.
S.
Presidents who win elections in years ending in Zero? Numerology is a science of cycles, so when we find a cycle like this among people's lives, we try to give it a closer look.
Here then is a detailed list of this curious cycle.
1840 William Henry Harrison is elected our 9th president.
He gives an inaugural speech of one hour and 45 minutes, and catches a cold.
It turns into pneumonia and he dies on April 4th, 1841.
He is the first president to die in office, and has the shortest presidency on record; just 30 days.
1860 Abraham Lincoln is elected our 16th president.
He completes his first term and is re-elected in 1864.

Lee's surrender ended the Civil war.
1880 James A.
Garfield is elected our 20th president.
He is shot by his assassin Charles J.
Guiteau, at the Washington train station on July 2nd, 1881 less than four months into his presidency.
Garfield lived for another eleven weeks, but repeated probing for the bullet caused infection to set in, and he died of blood poisoning on September 19th, 1881.
1900 William McKinley was elected our 25th president in 1896.

in Washington D.
C.
on March 30th, 1981.
