John scott harrison, the president's son and father, never wanted to seek public office, but he became a representative of the United States. During his 73-year-old life, John spent most of his time in farming. He prefers 400 acres of fertile land in North Bend, Ohio to political intrigue. Nevertheless, he was troubled by a series of dramatic political events until his death, even after his death.

After his political career, John Scott returned to Hamilton County, Ohio, and spent the rest of his life on a farm. He devoted himself to his crops and paid attention to the career development of his children, including the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison.

1878 On May 25th, John Scott died of an unknown disease. A series of strange things happened after his death, and there is still no satisfactory explanation.

A few days before his death, one of his young nephews, Dai Wen, died and was buried in the Harrison family cemetery. But his body was stolen from the grave and disappeared. In order to prevent this from happening to their father, John's children instructed to dig the grave deep and cover it with cement to prevent it from being destroyed. It is said that they did it.

A few days after John was buried, his son and several neighbors went to the medical autopsy room in Cincinnati to look for Dai Wen's body. It is estimated that he may have been sold to medical school for research. They searched for Devin's body all day, but when they were about to leave the morgue, they suddenly found a body hanging on a post with a piece of cloth on his face. To John's son's horror, it was the body of his father john scott harrison.

The press made a big fuss about this strange case. The body theft case made john scott harrison, which is only famous in Ohio, a topic of national discussion. When his body was buried in the family cemetery again, his son, future President Benjamin Harrison, stood in front of the grave. Some people say that John Scott's disappearance is only to steal the body for profit. Others find out more improper reasons, saying that Benjamin Harrison has set up some vicious enemies in Indiana who can't defeat Benjamin's political achievements, so they vent their hatred on his father's helpless body.
