Dad took this picture in the observation tower - finsihed it and got it autographed. Harding died in 1923. "While in Lancaster, Harding made a speech in the park near the Library. I waited in line a long time - or so it seemed to me - and finally went away without shaking his hand. "The photo hung in my family's home in Lancaster for many years. "Since it was taken by a Shorey, I want Nick to have this for the Shorey line. Seth Shorey 2/27/71" Charles Urban Shorey, 1884-1972 was a photographer based in Lancaster, NH. from 1918 to 1950, who specialized in portrait photography.
