Truman defies the Chicago Tribune and wins in 1948.
On December 26, 1972, former President Harry S. Truman
was admitted to Kansas City’s Research Hospital and
Medical Center with pneumonia. He developed multiple
organ failure, fell into a coma, and died.
Then-President Richard Nixon called Truman a man of
“forthrightness and integrity” who had a deep respect
for the office he held and for the people he served, and
who “supported and wisely counseled each of his
successors.”
