| - William Henry Harrison was the ninth President of the United States. He gave a two hour innaguration speech, and although it was cold and raining he refused to wear a jacket, he caught pneumonia. He was president for thirty-one days until he died. Although he was suffering from fever and delirious for much of presidency, we can still agree he was better than Dubya. His grandson would later become the 23rd president.
- As the story told by Goochland goes in "Escape From Goochland", Harrison became so enamored of Goochland during a visit that after his death he left the wooden figure of his wife Eunice Henry Harrison to the town.

- William Henry Harrison was the 9th President of the United States of America. He won election thanks to his powerful campaign slogan "If you don't elect me, so help me god, I'll tip this canoe over. Then you'll all be sorry." He was in office for thirty days, but pussied out, whining that his lungs were "full of fluid." He died of pneumonia, which he contracted as he gave his inaugural address (which nobody attended) in the freezing cold outside the White House, which also still emanated a chilly aura of frost after twelve years of Democrat power.
- William Henry Harrison was Bruce Ismay's secretary. He died in the sinking. He was born in Sudbury, Derbyshire, England in the closing months of 1866 and was baptised on 9 December that year in Sudbury Parrish Church. William was seemingly raised by his grandparents and appears with them on the 1871 and 1881 census records, at both instances listed at Grove in Sudbury. What became of his mother is not known. William boarded the Titanic at Southampton (ticket number 112059) with Mr Ismay and Ismay's valet Richard Fry. He occupied cabin B-94.
- (Are you noticing a trend?) William Henry Harrison had a brilliant idea for his inauguration. Facing accusations that he was old and frail, as well as unintelligent, he decided to deliver an eloquent two-hour inauguration speech (which had already been edited for length). Outside. In cold weather. In the rain. Without warm clothes on. And then went out dancing. He promptly caught pneumonia, lingered bedridden for a month, and died, thereby proving the accusations true. Way to go. A one-minute biography of the guy can be found here. It probably took longer to make than this guy was President.
