Truman is actually correct according to the documents at his library. According to Wikipedia: "Truman did not have a middle name, but only a middle initial. It was a common practice in southern states, including Missouri, to use initials rather than names. Truman said the initial was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp(e) Truman and Solomon Young. He once joked that the S was a name, not an initial, and it should not have a period, but official documents and his presidential library all use a period. Furthermore, the Harry S. Truman Library has numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Truman's lifetime where his own use of a period after the "S" is very obvious." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman -Russ Pi 1445 Hi Bill:

The S was not an initial as it did not stand for anything? May be just urban legend? Bill Ingram UNA '78 Hi,

It was always my understanding that there was no period after the S in “Harry S Truman”. The S was not an initial as it did not stand for anything? May be just urban legend?
