President Garfield served as President from March 4th – September 19, 1881. He was shot by Charles J. Guiteau, a lawyer with a history of mental illness. Guiteau, shot the President because he was not awarded with a consulship in Paris. The location was at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station now the National Gallery of Arts building.
He died in Elberon, New Jersey 2 months later from an infection. On June 2, 1882 Guiteau was executed by hanging. President Garfield is buried at 12316 Euclid Avenue in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio.
