Arthur, Chester A. (Alan)

(1830–86) twenty-first U.S. president; born in Fairfield, Vt.

Nominated as vice-president to Garfield in 1880 to pacify party regulars, Arthur became president on Garfield's assassination in July 1881. He surprised all by making solid appointments and signing the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883.
