Shirley Temple Black (born Shirley Jane Temple)  
(April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014)

On February 10, 2014, Shirley Temple Black, who as a child in
the 1930s became one of Hollywood’s most successful stars,
died at her Woodside,
California
, home at age 85. The plucky,
curly-haired performer sang, danced and acted in dozens of
films by the time she was a teen; as an adult, she gave up
making movies and served as a U.S. diplomat
 

The cause of death, according to her death certificate released
on March 3, 2014, was
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Temple was a lifelong cigarette smoker but avoided
displaying her habit in public because she did not want to set
a bad example for her fans.

William McKinley (January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901)

On January 29, 1843, William McKinley, who will become the
25th American president and the first to ride in an automobile, 
was born in Niles,
Ohio. McKinley served in the White House
from 1897 to
1901, a time when the American automotive
industry was in its  infancy. During his presidency, McKinley
(who died from an assassin’s bullet in September 1901) took
a drive in a Stanley Steamer (below), a steam-engine-powered
auto built in the late
1890s by Francis and Freelan Stanley. The
Stanley Motor Carriage
brothers Company produced a number
of steam-powered vehicles before going out of business in the
early 1920s, after being unable
to compete with the rise of less
expensive gas-powered cars.

The Stanley Motor Carriage Company was an American manufacturer
of
steam cars; it operated from 1902 to 1924. The cars made by the company were colloquially called Stanley Steamers, although
several different models were produced.
