[Verginius Rufus]

Coolidge's younger son died in 1924 at the age of 16 from an infection he got while playing tennis at the White House. That was during the 1924 Presidential campaign. That may have contributed to Coolidge's decision in 1927 not to seek another term.

Coolidge was born on the Fourth of July, the only President to achieve that feat.

I've seen his grave in Vermont--very simple with nothing saying he was President (there is a Presidential seal on the grave marker but you have to know already what it is to know that). When I saw it several years ago it looked too fresh to be the original stone from when Calvin Coolidge died--maybe someone had vandalized or stolen the original.

Did he plan to be born on the 4th of July and did he know he was going to be president?
