childhood and youth

Warren G. Harding became to 2. November 1865 close Corsica, Ohio (today Blooming Grove, Ohio) born. Harding was that oldest of eight children of Dr. George Harding and Phoebe Dickerson Harding. The heroes of its childhood were Alexander Hamilton and Napoleon. Its nut/mother was a midwife, late their medical profession permission received and its father informed a time long at a rural school north of Mount Gilead, Ohio. During its time as dte rodents the family pulled after Caledonia, Ohio. There its father bought a local weekly paper named The Argus.

Harding made later its conclusion at Ohio cent ral college in Iberia, Ohio that in Muskingum college was renamed later. During its time as a student at the college he learned something over the pressure and sales of newspapers. It converted these realizations with union the register in Mount Gilead .

After its conclusion it pulled after Marion, Ohio, where it found 300 $, in order to acquire with 2 friends the failed newspaper Marion DAILY star. It concerned thereby the present-weakest newspaper of the city, which was however the only one, which appeared daily in the rising city. Harding converted the editorship of the newspaper in such a way, so that he could support the republicans. It had however only moderate success. Its political opinions differed strongly from those the local politics in Marion. As Harding to it made itself the Marion Independent as the most successful appearing daily newspaper to replace, drew it thereby the anger of Amos sound yourself, one of the richest real estate speculators Marions, too.

While Harding won the “war of the words” and for the Marion DAILY star the largest newspaper in the district made, its health demanded a high tribute. 1889, when Harding was 24 years old, he suffered from exhaustion and fear conditions. Thereupon it traveled after Battle Creek, Michigan, in order to recover several weeks there in a sanatorium zuzubringen and the own strength. Later it returned to Marion, in order to lead the newspaper further. He spent his days thereby advertisement for the republicans in the editorials to make.

It had tried it to convince persistent from a wedding to, until it finally explained against-striving ready for it. To Florences father, Amos sound, was Hardings of largest adversaries. When he heard that his only daughter intended Harding to marry, it offended it completely from the family and forbade also to its own wife visiting the wedding. Sound rejects the marriage of the two energetically and spoke therefore for 8 years no word with his daughter or his son-in-law.

Although no fully erblühte passion was the basis for the wedding, the pair complemented itself mutually. Hardings friendly personality adjusted the beginning of the correct behaviour of its wife. Florence Harding had inherited the certainty and the sense of business of its father. This helped to transform the Marion DAILY star into a profitable newspaper. One of Hardings newspaper boy was Norman Thomas, who became later a well-known journalist and a socialist leader in New York town center. It was assumed that Florences drive led to smooth for Harding the way into the white house.
