Biographical Note
"Woodrow Wilson, in full Thomas Woodrow Wilson, (born December 28, 1856, Staunton, Virginia, U.S.—died February 3, 1924, Washington, D.C.), 28th president of the United States (1913–21), an American scholar and statesman best remembered for his legislative accomplishments and his high-minded idealism. Wilson led his country into World War I and became the creator and leading advocate of the League of Nations, for which he was awarded the 1919 Nobel Prize for Peace. During his second term the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote, was passed and ratified. He suffered a paralytic stroke while seeking American public support for the Treaty of Versailles (October 1919), and his incapacity, which lasted for the rest of his term of office, caused the worst crisis of presidential disability in American history."

Thomas Riley Marshall was born on March 14, 1854 in North Manchester, Indiana, to Daniel M. (1823–1892) and Martha A. (Patterson) Marshall (1825–1894). His family moved frequently for his mother's health, as she had contracted tuberculosis when he was young. During the U.S. Civil War, the family settled in Princeton, Indiana where Marshall attended school. In 1862, the Marshalls moved to Fort Wayne, where Marshall graduated from high school at age 15 in 1869. He received an A.B. degree (1873) and an A.M. degree (1876) from Wabash College in Crawfordsville. In 1875, Marshall was admitted ot the Indiana bar and began practicing law in Columbia City, Whitley County, Indiana. He bcame a partner in the firm, Marshall, McNagny, and Clugston. In 1878, Marshall was engaged to Kate Hooper, but she died the day before their wedding in 1882. Marshall was devastated, leading to him become an alcoholic. He remained a bachelor until he married Lois Irene Kimsey (1873–1958) 13 years later on October 2, 1895 in Steuben County, Indiana. They were a happy and devoted couple despite the nearly twenty-year age difference. Lois helped him to overcome his addiction, which inspired him to support temperance causes and organizations in his later life. She also accompanied him throughout his campaigns for governor and vice-president.
Although active in local Democratic politics, Marshall was still a Columbia City lawyer when elected governor of Indiana in 1908. In 1912, Marshall received the Democratic nomination for U.S. vice president, sharing the ticket with Woodrow Wilson. They won the election and were re-elected in 1916. Marshall served as U.S. vice president until 1921, taking a more hands-on role following Wilson's illness in 1919. Marshall continued to be a popular public speaker after leaving office and was extremely active in the Masons throughout his life. His autobiography, Recollections of Thomas Riley Marshall, was published posthumously. He died on June 1, 1925 in Washington, D.C. and was buried in Estates of Serenity in Marion, Indiana. Years later his body was interred in its current location in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Historical Note
Every United States presidential term begins with an inauguration which is traditionally held at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., though there have been exceptions. Vice President Thomas Riley Marshall, former governor of Indiana, was sworn in at two inaugurations: first, on March 4, 1913, and then on March 5, 1917, in the chambers of the U.S. Senate. This occurred just before the presidential inaugurations of Woodrow Wilson outside on the east portico of the Capitol Building in both instances.
