[Compiler note: Mary
Dimmick Harrison (April 30,
1858 – January 5, 1948) was the second wife of the 23rd United
States president Benjamin Harrison who was 25 years her senior. On October 22, 1881, she married Walter
Erskine Dimmick (July 4, 1856 - January 14, 1882). He died three months after
their marriage, leaving her a widow at age 23.
She was a niece of Carrie Harrison (wife of President Harrison) and in 1889
moved into the White House to serve as assistant to the First Lady. Sometime after Mrs. Harrison's death in 1892,
the former president and Mrs. Dimmick fell in love and late in 1895 announced
their engagement. At age 37, she married
the former president, aged 62, on April 6, 1896. Harrison's grown children from his first
marriage, horrified at the news, did not attend the wedding. The couple settled
in Indianapolis where their daughter, Elizabeth, was born. Reference: Wikipedia]
