“Warren Gamaliel Harding was the 29th president elected to represent the United States of America.” Harding arrived on November 2, 1865, in Blooming Grove, Ohio. He was a follower of the Baptist church and was the eldest of eight children. He had six sisters and one brother. One of his six sisters grew up to work on the Washington police force. His parents, Dr. George Tryon and Phoebe Dickerson Harding, were descendants of pioneer families of English and Dutch descent. They were both very well-known doctors. Warren Harding attended Ohio Central College in Irbernia, Ohio. He became owner of the Marion Star newspaper at the age of nineteen, as well as publisher. In 1891, Warren G. Harding took Florence Kling DeWolfe as his wife. His family did a lot for the Marion community. They built the house known as the "Harding Home and Museum". “Florence Harding was Warren's inspiration. It gave him useful criticism to build his career. Over the next ten years Harding's business prospered. It was Florence Harding's keen eye for business that made him prosper, but also thanks to "Harding's" good-natured ways. His newspaper became a favorite of Ohio politicians of both parties because of its unbiased reporting. He never published a critical story if he could help it. Even his employees loved and respected him for his willingness to share the company's profits with them." (Miller Center Editors). The people of Ohio elected Warren Harding to the Senate of Ohio in 1900, where he served two terms. He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1903; this in turn began his political career. In the 1910 election for governor, Warren Harding was defeated his loss. “…… half of the sheet…… Encyclopedia Britannica Editors. “Warren G.
