A ‘Millard Moment’ Recalls Fillmore
Millard Fillmore, whose greatest contribution to history may have been installing a bathtub in the White House, was remembered on the 185th anniversary of his birth Monday with a small graveside ceremony here and with a “Millard Moment” in Baltimore.
Thirty persons huddled under cloudy skies as a wreath was placed on his grave. And in Baltimore, Jeff Amdur planned a different remembrance.
“I urge everyone to celebrate a Millard Moment,” Amdur said. “Just take a minute during the day to contemplate Millard.”
Fillmore took office in 1850 after the death of President Zachary Taylor. Fillmore was not nominated to run for the presidency in 1852.
