Helen Herron Taft
She was the daughter of John Williamson and Harriet Collins Herron. She was educated at private schools in Cincinnati, and at her home there was married June 19, 1886, to William Howard Taft at the home of her parents in Cincinnati. The Reverend D.N.A. Hoge of Zanesville, Ohio performed the wedding and Taft's younger brother Horace. was best man. The couple honeymooned for four days in Sea Bright, New Jersey, before setting off on a three-month tour of Europe.
Helen Taft is described as a woman of strong character and an equal degree of intensity in her aims; she is sympathetic, straightforward, sincere, with a wholesome contempt for artificial veneers, social shams and the glitter that has no gold behind it. But for impaired health, which beset her shortly after her occupancy of the White House, she would doubtless have made one of the most forceful and brilliant mistresses of the national executive mansion.
Mrs. Taft is well and broadly educated, a trained musician and has had every advantage which culture and travel can give. She has journeyed much, and lived in many lands.
Helen Taft was the mother of three children—two sons, Robert, a student at Yale, and Charles, a schoolboy at Groton, Massachusetts, and of one daughter, Miss Helen Taft, an accomplished graduate of Bryn Mawr.
