• Notes

  William Henry Harrison died just short of serving 31 days as the ninth President of the United States of America. He had the distinction at that time of being the oldest mand elected to the Presidency at the age of 68; the first President to die in office; the President who served the shortest term; and the first President to have a grandson serve as President, that being President Benjamn Harrison, the 23rd President, serving from 1889 to 1893. He was buried in theHarrison Tomb opposite Congress Green Cemetery in North Bend, OH. William Henry Harrison and Anna Symmes were the parents of six sons and four daughters; however, six of the children died before he became President.
