Life Story Of Florence .
Kling Harding Is Story
Of Battle Against Odds
WASHINGTON', Xot. '21. OP)
The life story of Florence Klin
nurding, like an epic of sturdy Ameri
can womanhood, was a chronicle of
continual stniKgle against great odds,
and of continual accomplishments.
From the day she first faced the
world in a pioneer home in the middle
west, until, broken in health, she
undertook the heavy responsibilites
of the White House, she encountered
hardships before which a less cour
ageous spirit would have weakened
into drab mediocrity.
The most Bevcre test of her forti
tude was during the final illness and
death of Mr. Harding and the trying
ordeal that followed the cross-continent
trip with the body; the public
services in Washington; then the trip
to and the funeral at Marion, Ohio.
Mrs. lfurding had hardly recovered
from tin illness during which her life
hung in the balance when it came
time for the president to start upon
what proved his finnl trip, that to
Alaska. Because of her devotion to
her distinguished husband and un
mindful of her own physical condi
tion she accompanied him on that
journey and was constantly by his
side. ruring the president's illness
at San Francisco she never left him
for a minute and it was she who sum
moned the physicians when the change
came that finally i resulted in death.
Retains Courage
Despite these trials- she not only
kept her courngej nnd .her vigorous
individuality, but she retained as well:
a depth of human understanding and
a confidence in herself and those i
about her that endeared her to many j
thousands. After she became First1
Lady of the Land, as always in the 1
years preceding, the helpless and the 1
unfortunate received the first " and j
fullest , measure of her devotion.
Children of every class had her un-)
failing attention. "Wounded veterans
of the World War owed her many a
debt for hours gladdened by her vis
its to their hospitals'or by flowers,
sent by her personal, order from the
White Honse conservatories. Her
unusual outgiving of sympathy Ex
tended to animals, many of whom she
befriended and protected.
In her thoughtfulness for the in
terests of others and in her loyalty
to her friends, she was outspoken to
a degree that won for her recognition
as one of the most vigorous-minded
women who ever presided over the
household of a president. On the
night of election day in 1920 she an
nounced her determination to send
away the policeman stutioned at the
White House gates since the United
States entered the war a purpose
which was fulfilled on the very day
Mr. Harding took office. Before he
teven had looked around his new of
I fices he issued an order throwing
j the gateB wide open, and hundreds
! trooped in across the lawn and peep-
ed in at the windows while the new
jFirst Lady of the Land was presiding
at her first White House function
I an informal luncheon for old friends
and neighbors from Marion, Ohio.
Loved Her Home
I But with all her interest in pub
, lie affairs, 6ho had a true woman's
i love for a well-ordered home and
; was known to White House attend-
ants as an unusually painstaking
, housekeeper. While she was reviv
: ing the social calendar which had
been almost forgotten duriug the war
dayB and the subsequent illnesB of
President Wilson, she was making
many changes also in the organisation
of her household. All her efrts in
that direction were bent toward mak
ing the White House a real home
where the busy Chief Executive could
have rest and quiet after the day's
work, and where his friends could be
received with the same hearty wel
come that bad greeted them in Mar
ion. Puring the whole time she was mis
tress of the Executive Mansion, Mrs.
Harding combined with her social
duties an unwavering allegiance to
her universal esteem. The social us
ages so long a part of official Wash
ington life were preserved by her to
the letter but without ostentation.
And at the same time she found op
portunity to show in many ways that
she had lost none of her interest for !
the class of. home folks from which J
she had come. . i
"Say that we are just folks,' she!
told newspapermen when they asked j
her for a message to the people at
the time of Mr. Harding's inaugura
tion, "We arc just folks, but when
I enter the White House I propose j
to accept all of its socinl obligations
nnd become the First Lady of the
Land in truth as well as name."
Was Not Well
The full significance of that prom
ise was known to but a few of her
intimate friends. For years she hud
not seen a well day, and -she hud
reached a time of life when even
the plucky cheerfulness with which
she covered her almost continual suf
fering was certain to be broken by
the exactions of her position. It
would have been easy to surrender
to the advice of physicians and friends
and, in half-retirement, to sit down
amid the comforts-, of the White
House and muse triumphantly ,ovcr
past years of struggle. Many women
would have done it; but for her thnt
was impossible. She declared she
never would be counted a "quitter."
With her new station in life, she said,
went certain responsibilities, and
these responsibilities she was deter
mined not to shirk.
Nor did she interpret in any narrow
sense the obligations of mutual help
fulness she hud assumed when, in
1MU, she became the wife of a strug
gling newspaper editor back in Mar
ion. Even in those days she gave
vastly more to the marriage partner
ship than a woman usually is able to
contribute, and grown men in Marion
today remember how she used to
count out newspapers to them when
they were newsboys. When the fu
ture President entered politics, she
found new and unexpected ways of
helping him. As the wife of a sen- 1
ator, she kept in touch with hun- !
dreds in her state who wanted help
in Washington, besides maintaining
her pluce fittingly in the social life
of the capital. j
Born In Ohio
Mrs. Harding was born in Marion, ;
, Ohio, in 1S0O, of a sturdy stock of
pioneers, her father, Amos Kling, be-'.
ing one of the town's first settlers. '
She married Mr. Harding in ISiU j
when thiugs did not look too bright:
for him. He had just taken over
the ownership of the Marion Star,;
and it was loaded down with mort 1
j gages and still had to make a place
i for itself in the community. She nev-
er kid been used to extravagance,!
however, and she immediately turned
to the task of helping put the news-!
; paper on a sound basis. She went
j to work in the business office, and
j soon was in charge of advertising i
i and circulation, buying the print pap
ier nnd other supplies, and even stand-
ing by the preses and instructing the
j carriers before they started on. thoir
I routes. She mothered the club es
tablished for the carrier boys, one
of whom, answering to the name
of Baldiuger, entered the army, "rose
to the rank of Major and was later
detailed at the White House as mili
tary aide to the President. Another
was (Jeorgo Christian, who becume
the President's private secretary.
Of 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 bright, her manner as vi
vacious, and her glances and smiles
as radiant as when she was a girl.
, She was always well gowned, but
never eared 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 haudsomo piece usual
ly helped to complete her gown. She
did not affect jewelry and usually
wore only a diamond solitaire or dia
mond clasp on a piece of black velvet
about the throat.
In her younger days she had been
an expert horsewoman and an accom
plished pianist. Many musicians will
always remember the interest she
took in them. While in Marion she
taught music, and many of the boys
and girls of her home town were her
pupils. She was a member ot me
Methodist Enpiscopal Church, hu.
who erjr luitiuui ul uuicmi niiu nil
the President was a Baptist, !tratf
the custom of the Hardings to at
tend the Calvary Baptist Church in
Washington.
President Harding was the second
husband of Mrs. Harding. Her first I
was Henry De Wolfe,' whose parental
were neighbors of the Kling family.
Tins marriage contracted early in
life, nroved to be unhnnny and the
J future mistress of the White House
! obtained n divorce in 1SS5 on tH
j gronnds of gross neglect. , One soto,
i Marshall Eugene PeWolfe, lived to,
manhood. His death occurred at Kcr
! scy, Colo., in 1011.

JUDGE TO EXCUSE
Jl
j With the close of the last action
on the present docket of the circuit
court the jury will be excused sub
ject to the call of the court, accord
ing to announcement todny of Judge
Kendall, of Coos county, who has
been hearing cases here for the past
several days while Judge Skipworth
holds court at the Coos Hay district.
The case of Wilson against the Hart
ford Life insurance company has been
discontinued and the case today of
the Union Rank of Canada against
Noble Grand Hyland will clear the
local docket. Judge Kendall will re-
: main here until tomorrow to hear
eases in equity and then "I nm going
to Corvallis to take in the football
game" is the judicial decision from
which there will be no appeal, the
judge declares.
Both Judge Skipworth nnd Judge
Kendall who changed positions on the
bench of their respective districts
i took ovj?r libel suits against news
papers. Thoe cases are rare and
both Judge Skipworth and Judge
Kendall were disqualified' to hear the
cases in their own districts. The
i rase here against the Register Pub
lishing company was dismissed after
a short hearing and the case against
the Coos Hay Times was won by the
defendant, according to word received
j here today,
CANTONVOhio, Nov. 21. Hoping
further questioning of relatives of
Mrs. Addie Sheatslcy, wife of C. V.
Sheatsley, pastor of Christ's church.
Hesley, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio,
who found the charred body of his
wife in the furnace at the Sheatsley
home Monday night bring some clue
which would solve the mysterious cre
mation, Prosecutor John It. King of
Franklin county (Columbus), today
continued examination of Mr. Sheats
ley and his four children.
Funeral services for Mrs. Sheatsley
were held at Paris, near here, yesterday.
Prosecutor King is also waiting for
a report on Columbus analytical
chemists, who made an analysis of the
lungs and aesophagus of Mrs. Sheats
ley, which Mr. King said would be
torwarded to him here today. The
prosecutor hopes that the analysis
will disclose whether or not Mrs.
Sheatsley breathed in the furnace,
Mr. Kipg declared last night .ho "Is
not satisfied Bhe entered the furnace
voluntarily."
"I am of the opinion." he snid
"that eventual disclosures will pro
duce facts necessary to prove that
she did not choose this method to
take her life. I do not say, understand,
that another killed her. That Is pos
sible, of course, hut I am inclined-
more and more to believe that her
body was placed in the furnace after
life had pnssed from the body."
Questioned by Mr. King, Mrs. Ly-
dia Sponseller, 80-year-old mother of
the victim, in a statement said the
Sheatsley fnmily, with whom she lived
for a numher of years, "the most
agreeable family I have ever seen.
Addie was good and kind to me nnd
so was her husband."
