Harding, Florence

Before returning to Marion, Florence destroyed many of the papers that could have documented more fully her role in what many observers consider the worst presidency in the country's history. She had worked hard to make her husband a success, but the revelations associated with the Teapot Dome Scandal made his flaws very clear. One biographer concluded that she was a �full partner� in Warren's presidency. She died in 1924 and was buried beside her husband in a large mausoleum near the house where they were married.
