Title	William McKinley Memorial Booklet
Subject	Presidents and Politics Poetry McKinley, William, 1843-1901
Place	Canton (Ohio) Stark County (Ohio)
Description	This 6-page booklet contains a poetic tribute to assassinated President William McKinley, read before the Stark County Bar in Canton, Ohio by Judge Charles Krichbaum on September 28, 1901. Krichbaum also served as one of the pallbearers at McKinley's funeral. Judge William R. Day was chairman of the committee that prepared this tribute. He was also one of the principal speakers at the service. The booklet measures 6.5" x 3.5" (16.51 x 8.89 cm). After graduating from Wooster University, Judge Charles Krichbaum (1855-1930) accepted a teaching position in Indiana, Pennsylvania. He later turned to the legal field, and he graduated from Cincinnati Law School in 1885. He practiced law with Henry W. Harter at the firm of Harter & Krichbaum. He was elected Stark County prosecutor for two terms and was then chosen for the office of probate judge. He served in public office for more than twenty years before his death. Judge William R. Day (1849-1923) was admitted to the bar in 1872. He served as secretary of state for President William McKinley during the Spanish-American War, U.S. circuit judge, and associate justice for the U.S. Supreme Court. William McKinley (1843-1901), the twenty-fifth president of the United States, was born in Niles, Ohio. He enlisted in the army at the outbreak of the Civil War and, after being mustered out, studied law and opened a law office in Canton, Ohio. McKinley served in the U.S. Congress for 14 years, and became president in 1897, largely due to the influence of Marcus Hanna, boss of the Cleveland political machine. McKinley was most noted for his foreign policy and the conduct of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It was during McKinley's administration that the U.S. acquired its first overseas possessions in the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. He was re-elected in 1900, but was assassinated by anarchist Leon Czolgosz in 1901. His running mate, Theodore Roosevelt, then became president.
