You have your states right (Czolgosz was born in Michigan) but assassins
wrong.  Czolgosz shot President McKinley.

William S. Maynard, mayor of Ann Arbor in the 1850s and 1860s, and owner
of the aforementioned mansion, was uncle by marriage to Charles Guiteau,
the assassin of President Garfield.

Not that our sometime mayor lived to see his nephew's fame in the
political assassination business.  In 1866, when James A. Garfield was
still an obscure Ohio congressman, Maynard killed himself with an overdose
of morphine.

Okay.
