William Harrison, 9th U. S. President

William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 - April 4, 1841) was the ninth President of the USA (1841), an American military officer, the last President born before the Declaration of Independence, and the first president to die in office. He gained national fame for leading US forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. As a general in the War of 1812, his most notable action was in the Battle of the Thames in 1813, which brought an end to hostilities in his region. After the war, he moved to Ohio, where he was elected to the US House of Representatives, and in 1824 he became a member of the Senate. He served a truncated term before being appointed as Minister Plenipotentiary to Colombia in May 1828. He was nominated for the presidency in 1836. Defeated, he retired again to his farm before being elected president in 1840. He died on his 32nd day in office of complications, at the age of 68, from pneumonia, serving the shortest tenure in US presidential history. His death sparked a brief constitutional crisis, but that crisis ultimately resolved many questions about presidential succession left unanswered by the Constitution until passage of the 25th Amendment.
