'''James Garfield''' (1831-1881) was the 20th President of the United States, and the only one to serve as a clergyman while in the White House.<ref>http://www.kencollins.com/about/about.htm</ref> He was assassinated by a deranged gunman, [[Charles Julius Guiteau]], who may have sought to make the Vice President, [[Chester Arthur]], the next President.
Garfield suffered for weeks from the lodging of the bullet inside him, first in the White House and then at a New Jersey seaside location. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, attempted to find the internal bullet with his own invention, an induction-balance electrical device. All attempts at removing the bullet were unsuccessful, and Garfield died on September 19, 1881 from an infection and internal hemorrhage.<ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jg20.html</ref> He served as President for six months and fifteeen days
