EW ORLEANS (AP) — Clarence “Frogman” Henry, who was one
of New Orleans’ best known old-time R&B singers and scored a

”(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do” died Sunday night. No cause of

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was an American
industrialist and business magnate. As founder of the Ford
Motor Company, he is credited as a pioneer in making cars
affordable for middle-class Americans through the Fordism
system.
In 1911, he was awarded a patent for the transmission
mechanism that would be used in the Model T and other
automobiles. Ford was 83.
On April 6, 1841, John Tyler was sworn in as president. Tyler was
elected as William Harrison’s vice president earlier in 1841 and
was suddenly thrust into the role of president when Harrison
died one month into office.
He was the first vice president to immediately assume the role
of president after a sitting president’s untimely exit and set the
precedent for succession thereafter.
Tyler’s death due to a stroke at 71 in 1862 was the only one in
presidential history not to be officially recognized in Washington,
because of his allegiance to the Confederate States of America.
William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841)
