Warren Harding and Wife Florence, 20th Century

Warren Gamaliel Harding (November 2, 1865 - August 2, 1923) was the 29th President of the United States (1921-23). Florence Mabel Kling Harding (August 15, 1860 - November 21, 1924) Florence Kling DeWolfe was a divorcee, 5 years Harding's senior, and the mother of a young son, Marshall Eugene DeWolfe. Her father had soundly condemned her first marriage, to an alcoholic. He had disowned her, but her mother had remained loyal and supportive. She pursued Harding persistently, until he reluctantly proposed. Incensed by his daughter's decision to marry Harding, Amos Kling prohibited his wife from attending the wedding and refused to speak to his daughter or son-in-law for 8 years. The couple was complementary, with Harding's affable personality balancing his wife's no-nonsense approach to life. She has been credited with helping Harding achieve more than he might have alone; some have speculated that she pushed him all the way to the White House. Early in their marriage, Harding bestowed on her the lasting nickname "Duchess" as a nod to the imperious persona she shared with her father.
