  Garfield Assassination. Garfield Assassination. Frank Leslie's Illustrated News, New York, NY, 16 July 1881. After he was shot Garfield remained in the train station for quite sometime because no one knew if the assassin had helpers that might be waiting outside. Eventually Garfield ordered that he be moved because he did not want to die in a train station. While the caption states the woman is "Mrs. Smith" my research indicates it correctly should have been Mrs. White who was the "Lady's Attendant" for the station. The predominantly white figure on the left is Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln who was Garfield's Secretary of War. On the Right is Secretary of State James G. Blaine. Canter is Garfield's son James Rudolph Garfield who was fifteen years old at the time.
