"This is the last of Earth! I am content!"
• John Quincy Adams was an American statesman who served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. He also served as a diplomat, a Senator and member of the House of Representatives. He was a member of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig parties. John Quincy Adams, gleefully pronounced these words on his deathbed, seconds before his death. His death was triggered by a severe internal cerebral hemorrhage brought by a fall he had on the floor of the US Capitol Building while he was still serving as the representative of the District of Massachusetts. Days after the fall, he deliriously expressed his contentment over the life he had lived and peacefully left.
Died: February 21, 1848
