It says his funeral was kept to a minimum...so just one week or two?

Appreciate the link. But it took me to Taft’s.

Your film is Tafts funeral, not Coolidge.

The left hates him; he was an advocate for liberty.

Warren Harding was great, too, and Coolidge benefitted from his policies and that of Treasury Secretary Mellon (who should’ve been Coolidge’s successor). Harding resolved the Wilson Recession in short order by cutting taxes and government. He is hated by leftist academia because he proved cutting both is the key to economic recovery, not taxing, spending and expanding government.

Link was to President Taft, who died the same year.

Yes, one of our great presidents, very much overlooked. While I was growing up the media and comedians turned him into something of a joke, who knows why. Even conservatives often overlook him.

By 2024, Trump will be the greatest President since Coolidge.

My mother, stepdad, stepgrandmom and I visited Coolidge's birthplace in the summer of 1983, on our way home to PA from staying with relatives in Nova Scotia. I went inside his (Congregationalist) church. His pew had a large Old Glory standing next to it in the outside aisle. If I had known Cal was buried there I would have visited it too. RIP Cal and thank you.

Silent Cal. He was a ripper. Very low key.
When told by a reporter that he had a bet with his news pool staff that he could get Cal to answer a question with more than two words, the President replied: “ You lose!”

George Halas and Red Grange went to the White House to visit Pres. Coolidge. They were introduced to him as “George Halas and Red Grange of the Chicago Bears.”
Coolidge said, “A pleasure to meet you gentlemen. I always like animal acts.”

Probably the last President of the Republic before DC started to see itself as an Empire.

Isn’t he still dead? Just asking.

Silent Cal was a one of our greatest presidents! He was a major thorn in the side of every progressive and Demo as he cut spending everywhere possible and would not budge to political pressure. One of his favorite words when any new law that added to Federal spending was a resounding “NO!” I can’t think of another president since who has done anything like Cal.
