K MING DEAD AFTER ALNESS OF RBT SEVERAL WEEKS Death Occcurred at Sanitari um Where She Had Been Under Treatment Some Time. FUNERAL TO BE HELD ON MONDAY Her Body Probably Will Be Placed Temporarily in the Vault Alongside That of Her Husband. Marion. 0., Nov. 21 (By the Associat ed Press). —Florence Kling Harding, widow of Warren G. Harding, twenty ninth chief executive of the United States, died here today. The end came at 8:55 at the White Oaks Sanitarium of Dr. Carl W. Saw yer, where she had been lighting for life for the last few weeks. Mrs. Harding's death was due directly to a kidney ailjnent, from which she has ! suffered for years, and which nearly re sulted fatally while she was mistress of 1 the White House. She died , peacefnly, Dr. Sawyer said. While no definite announcement has 1 been made, it is expected that Mrs. Hard ing’s body w'iil be placed temporarily in 1 Lhe receiving vault in Marion cemetery alongside the body of her husband. Funeral services will be held at Ep worth Methodist Episcopal Church Mon day afternoon at 2 o’clock. Mrs. Harding was born in. Marion, 0., in 1860, of a sturdy stock of pioneers, her father, Amos Kling, being one of the town's first settlers. She married Mr. Harding in 1801 when things did not look too bright for Rim. He had just taken over the ownership of the Marion Star, and it was loaded down with mortgages and still had to make a place for itself in the community. She never had been used to extravagance, however, and she immediately turned to the task of helping put the newspaper on a sound basis. She went to work in the business office, and soon was in charge of advertising and circulation, buying the print paper and other sup plies, and even standing by the presses and instructing the carrier before they started, job-.-their routes. She mothered the hfttW-wrtafoHabed fee tbe-cereier-beyn one Os whom, answering to the name of Baldinger. entered the army, rose to the rank of major and was later de tailed at the White House as military aide to the President. Another was George Christian, who became tfie Presi dent’s private secretary. Os slight build and medium height, Mrs. Harding carried herself strongly erect and with charming dignity. Though her hair was silvering before she came to the White House, her eyes were as bright, her manner as vivacious, and her glances and smiles as radiant as when she Was a girl. She was always well gowned, but nev er cared for extremes in dress. Her coiffure particularly was said to be the mystery and envy of many Washington society leaders. She had an interesting collection of laces and some rare and handsome piece, usually helped to com plete her gown. She did not affect jew elry and usually wore only a diamond solitaire or diamond clasp on a piece of black velvet about the throat. The life story of Florence Kling Hard ing, life an epic of sturdy American womanhood, was a chronicle of continual struggle against great odds, and of con tinual accomplishments. From the day she first faced the world in a pioneer home in the middle west, until, broken in health, she uudortook the heavy responsibilities of the White House, she encountered hardships before which a less courageous spirit would have weak ened into drab mediocrity. Despite these trials she not only kept her courage and her vigorous individual ity, 1 but she retained as well a depth of human understanding and a confidence in herself and those about her that en deared her to many' thousands. After she became First Lady of the Land, as always in the years preceding, the help less and the unfortunate received the first and fullest measure of her devotion. Chil dren of every clnss had her unfailling at tention. Wounded veterans of the World War’ owed her many a debt for hours gladdened by her visits to their hospit als or by flowers' sent by her personal order from the White House Conserva tory. Her unusual outgiving of sympa thy extended to animals, many of whom she befriended and protected. Park Commission About Through Trip, fßy the Associated Press.)
