WHAT ARE THE CHANCES that two signers and former presidents would die on the same day, July 4, 1826? It was the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and both men were invited to the celebration, but due to failing health, neither could travel.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died within hours of each other on that day......James Monroe, another founding father and president died on July 4, 1831.
