Warren Harding was born November 2,
1865 in Corsica, Ohio. He was the oldest out
of eight children. He grew up on a farm in
Ohio. When Harding was nineteen he bought
the Marion Star for $300.00.
He got married to Florence K. Harding
in 1891. They were married thirty-two years.
Florence was born August 15,1860 in Marion
Ohio. Before she married Harding she had a
son with a different man.
Harding was an Ohio State Senator
from 1899 to 1903. A couple years later he
became a president. The exact date was
March 4, 1920. He was a Republican. When
he was a president the one hundred million
people population mark past. He was also the
first president on the radio. Some people think
he was the worst president, because he was a
bootlegger and had many affairs. His time in
office ended August 2, 1923.
He died in San Francisco. Some say
Florence poisoned him, because she was
jealous that he had many affairs. There is no
way to tell if she did. Florence died a year
after Warren. She died November 21,1924 in
Marion, Ohio.
