I saw an interesting trivia point in the Post this morning; that since the Civil War, only three Presidents have outlived their wives. I can come up with Wilson and Nixon without Googling.... now, who else?

Benjamin Harrison, I think. Caroline Harrison died just as they were moving out of the White House. He remarried and had another daughter who was four years old when he died.

Thanks, but it was "since the Civil War", where someone else tripped up. The answer is Hoover.
