Coolidge Makes History as Massachusetts VP Pick
Calvin Coolidge becomes the first Massachusetts man to serve as vice president since Henry Wilson and prompts talk that Massachusetts will also supply Senate and House leaders. Born 1872 at Watertown, Coolidge is a taciturn, studious figure known as Silent Cal, rising from city council to governor before his national role. He married Grace Goodhue in Northampton and leads a simple, disciplined home life with two sons, continuing his reputation for public service and steady work.
