That's the big ZT, Zachary Taylor
The cause of Zachary Taylor's death is not well understood. On July 4, 1850, Taylor consumed a snack of milk and cherries at an Independence Day celebration. Upon his sudden death, five days later on July 9th,[3] the cause was listed as gastroenteritis.
Due to suspicions of assassination, in 1991 Taylor's remains were exhumed. A Kentucky medical examiner submitted hair and tissue samples to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where neutron activation analysis revealed traces of arsenic at levels several hundred times less than necessary for poisoning to have occurred.
Despite these findings, assassination theories have not been entirely put to rest. Michael Parenti devoted a chapter in his controversial 1999 book History as Mystery[5] to what he called "The Strange Death of Zachary Taylor". In it he speculated that Taylor was assassinated and that his autopsy was botched.
He took a few sips of iced milk, again adding to the possibility of cholera. He lapsed again into unconsciousness and died on July 9, 1850.
Taylor is buried in Louisville, Kentucky, at what is now the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery.Hence , the connection to Ben Bartley

Schully. Winner. Closet Zachary Taylor admirer. Hooray!
I likely did not kill former president Zachary Taylor... likely.
You didn't poison his Milk and Cherries with Arsenic?
