Warren G. Harding was the 29th President of the United States and served from 1921-1923. He was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio in November of 1865 and held many different jobs an titles before becoming President. Harding attended Ohio Central College (formerly Iberia College) where he studied journalism. Once he graduated from college, he held jobs as a teacher and insurance agent, and also briefly studied law. Armed with his bachelor of science in journalism, he purchased the Marion Daily Star newspaper in partnership with others. It was there that he became a strong supporter of the Republican Party and used the Star as an editorial platform to do so. He married Florence King DeWolfe in 1891, but they had no children.
Before he was elected President, Harding's first venture into politics was running for the Marion County Auditor's Office. He lost the election but it did not deter him from running for Ohio State Senate. He was elected to the senate in 1915 and later became the Ohio lieutenant governor, then a U.S. Senator from Ohio and finally, President in 1920. During his Presidency he accomplished many things including signing the first federal child welfare program, setting up the Bureau of the Budget, signing a World War I peace treaty with Germany and Austria, and much more. He died suddenly in 1923 of a heart attack in San Francisco, California just two years into his term. He was succeeded by President Calvin Coolidge.
