In an email reply from the
McKinley Memorial Library &
Museum:
Gary,
In a book
entitled "William McKinley and His America" by H. Wayne Morgan, the author
mentions that, because McKinley's wife had a blood infection in her finger,
the president "rushed her to San Francisco" on Sunday, May 12, 1901 (p. 514.)
On p. 515 the author mentions that "by Thursday she could sit up and talk
weakly." About four sentences later, Morgan says about the president "For
almost another week he remained in the city." I surmise from this that the
McKinleys remained in San Francisco until about May 21 or 22 (give or take.)
Sincerely,
Frank Pisano Reference Librarian
