| Info | He was born April 13, 1841and he died January 16, 1853. With his wife convinced that retirement from politics was God's will, Franklin Pierce retired from the U. S. Senate to practice law in New Hampshire. But in 1852, in a fractured Democrat National Convention, he won the presidential nomination on the 49th ballot. But Mrs. Pierce's greatest fears were realized. Pierce won, and eleven-year-old Benny was killed in a train accident before his parents' eyes.
