Friday, June 23, 1922. Confederate Veterans visit the White House, Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang dies, A forgotten tragedy.

On this day in 1922, a group of Confederate veterans visited the White House.

 An annual reunion was ongoing in Richmond, and this event was likely associated with it.

I suppose it demonstrated a spirit of reconciliation that had developed, with the old rebels now celebrated as old soldiers.  At the time, the ongoing repression of blacks, often violent, and the failure of Reconstruction, seemingly didn't figure into the equation.

Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, in office for mere days, and part of an effort to consolidate the reunification of China, died of pneumonia.

A forgotten tragedy was reported on in Casper.

He was apparently keeping time with other women, maybe.  She was upset, but wanted to reconcile, and then, the note stated, didn't want to live alone.
