Kermit Roosevelt

Kermit Roosevelt - son of President Theodore Roosevelt and his second wife, Edith - often accompanied his father on adventure trips.  He was with TR, during a 1914 journey to Brazil, when the former president contracted a fever.  Physicians at the time believed that illness may have contributed to Roosevelt's death on the 6th of January, 1919.
