William McKinley, Freemasons, Independent Order of Odd Fellows

McKinley succeeded Garfield as both the next Masonic president and the next president to be assassinated.

Roadside America features a post documenting the site where McKinley was first initiated as a Mason, while fighting for the Union during the Civil War.

His Masonic legacy lives on today, as the lodge he once belonged to is now named after him.

The Odd Fellows also claim McKinley as one of their own.
