People who passed away inside the White House
There have been a lot of people who lived in the white house since it was built, but also a lot of have died too. Join us, as we have a look at the people who have passed away in the white house.
President William Henry Harrison
America’s ninth president might be unknown to some, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t set some records while in office.
Willie Lincoln
Speaking of tainted water supplies, it’s also been suggested that tainted water may have also claimed the life of William Wallace Lincoln—Abraham and Mary Lincoln’s third son.
President Zachary Taylor
Jumping back to presidents for a few minutes though, let’s talk about America’s twelfth president: Zachary Taylor.
Caroline Harrison
First Lady Caroline Harrison was the wife to our twenty-third president—Benjamin Harrison, who also happened to be the grandson of William Henry Harrison.
Charles G. Ross
An accomplished Pulitzer Prize winner and press secretary to President Harry Truman, Charles G. Ross was from Missouri and, in 1908, became the first professor at the newly formed Missouri School of Journalism.

Next, we have another First Lady; Zachary Taylor’s first wife, Letitia Christian Tyler.
Ellen Wilson
Yet another First Lady, Ellen Wilson first met future president Woodrow Wilson in April of 1883 while house sitting for her widowed father.
Margaret Wallace
Harry Truman’s mother-in-law was always critical of her son-in-law and wasn’t afraid to criticize him publicly.

And now, we come to the last person on our list.
Frederick Dent was the father of Julia Dent Grant, who was the wife of our eighteenth president, Ulysses S. Grant.
A Presidential Funeral
Now that we’ve talked about people dying in the White House, how about we top everything off by talking about what exactly happens when a president dies--you know, as if we couldn’t get even more mordant.
