William McKinley was president at the turn of the 20th century. In 1901 he was shot in Buffalo, New York by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. He laid in the hospital for eight more days and then passed away on September 14, 1901.
While campaigning in 1912 he was shot before he was about to give a speech in Wisconsin. The bullet passed though the 50 page speech he was carrying and got lodged in his chest. He said because he wasn't coughing blood the bullet must not have hit his lungs, he went on to give a 90 minute speech while bleeding through his jacket.
