- Description:
- Item donor Susan H. Douglas identifies all of these buttons as memorial items post-dating McKinley's assassination in 1901. The button reading GOD'S WILL, NOT OURS, BE DONE contains a variation on McKinley's last words. The full-color button reading WILLIAM McKINLEY / 1897-1901 was printed using a four-color process and probably was made much later than 1901, possibly as a part of a set of Presidential portrait buttons.
