• WBTli House Tragedy and Gayety.
Between 1841 and 1844 the White |
House saw g greater mingling of trag
edy and gayety than it ever did in any
equal interval before or since. Wil
liam Henry Harrison, Tyler’s imme
diate predecessor, died when only a
month in office, and Tyler served out
the remainder of the term. Mrs. Leti
tia Tyler died a few months after her
youngest daughter, Elizabeth, was
married to William Waller of Virginia.
This was on Sept. 10, 1842. In [Febru
ary, 1844. a great gun burst while ex- !
hibiting it on a trip down the Potomac
*’ in tlie midst of a brilliant company,
among whom were Tyler, many mem
bers of congress and of tlie cabinet,
and other distinguished guests. About |
forty persons were killed or injured.
Among the killed were the father of
Miss Gardiner, who soon afterward
became Tyler’s second wife. Although
married while her husband was in the
White House, the second Mrs. Tyler
had her wedding at her home iu New
York, but she held her reception in the
executive mansion. She became popu- j
lar in Washington society and tin
doubtedly strengthened the social side
of her husband’s administration.—
