General Notes: Husband - Charles V. Harding

---

He was reared at Washington and was educated in the public schools, and later Washington and Jefferson College, graduating from the latter in the class of 1877. At that time his father had large coal interests and he entered into the coal business with him, in which he continued for some years and at the end of that time became agent for the Waynesburg & Washington Railroad, with which he remained identified for ten years. Mr. Harding then visited Chicago, Illinois, and Wheeling, West Virginia, and at both places became interested in mercantile pursuits, and then returned to Washington and for two years served as deputy county treasurer. In 1900 he established his own business, realty dealing and general insurance. He handled a large amount of valuable real estate and represented ten of the leading fire insurance companies, two accident companies and one life company. He had additional business interests as well.
He was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church and he belonged to its official board. He was identified with the Elks and the Heptasophs and belonged also to the Royal Arcanum and to his college society, the Phi Kappa Sigma, and to the Washington Golf Club.
