He had first come to Warm Springs in 1924 hopingthat the spring waters would provide a cure for the infantile paralysis(polio) that had struck him in 1921. During FDR's presidency and theGreat Depression, he developed many New Deal Programs (such as theRural Electrification Administration) based upon his experiences inthis small town. On April 12, 1945, FDR suffered a stroke whilehis portrait was being painted and died a short while later.
