1915: U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, widowed the year before upon the death of his first wife, Ellen Axson Wilson, marries Edith Bolling Galt at her Washington, D.C., home. Wilson is one of only three presidents to be widowed while in office, and also one of only three presidents who got married while in office. Wilson and Galt are seen here together in June 1920.
