Charles Curtis (1860-1936), 31st vice-president of the United States (1926-1933), born in North Topeka, Kansas, partly of Native American ancestry. After a common school education and private law study, he was admitted to the bar in 1881. He served as a Republican in the US House of Representatives from 1893 until 1907, when he resigned to accept an appointment to a vacancy in the US Senate. He was re-elected in 1914, 1920, and 1926. In 1928 he was elected vice-president on a ticket headed by Herbert Hoover. Both men were renominated in 1932 but were defeated in the election.
