Coincidence?

Circumstantial Evidence?

Class Conscious!
In 1906 six babies were born aboard the German ship Grosser Kurfurst, which sailed from Bremen to New York: one in first class, two in second class and three in third class.

Hat trick Hero.
Robert Todd Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln was present in Ford Theatre, Washington D.C. when his father was assassinated in 1865. He was also near President James Garfield when he was shot at the Baltimore and Potomac station in Washington D.C. in 1881. He happened to be just a few feet away from President William McKinley in 1901 while McKinley was at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.

Be wary of JMB on February 13th!
