Abraham Lincoln was famously frugal. Not only did he work for a credit reporting agency, but he once turned down a request for an $80 loan because it would only further his stepbrother’s debt problems. I blogged about this and George Washington (had debt issues) for President’s Day earlier this month – http://www.creditbloggers.com/2006/02/abraham_lincoln.html
