 Warren G. Harding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warren Gamaliel Harding (November 2, 1865– August 2, 1923) was an American politician and the 29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 to 1923, when he became the sixth president to die in office.

Harding was entombed in the receiving vault of the Marion Cemetery, Marion, Ohio, in August 1923.
