About Homer E. Capehart, U.S. Senator

Homer Earl Capehart (June 6, 1897 - September 3, 1979) was an American businessman and politician from Indiana. After serving in the United States Army during World War I, he became involved in the manufacture of record players and other products. Capehart later served 18 years (1945-1963) in the U.S. Senate as a Republican from Indiana. Initially an isolationist on foreign policy, he took a more internationalist stance in later years; he retired after a narrow defeat for a fourth term in 1962. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0)
