RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-18-2024
Pretty close, Joe, but Rob got it. It was white according to Elizabeth Keckly. Good job, Rob.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-27-2024
No googling please.
Which First Lady said:
"It is horrible to be a man. But the grinding misery of being a woman between the upper and nether millstone of household cares and training children is almost as bad. To be half civilized with some aspirations for enlightenment, and obliged to spend the largest part of the time the victim of young barbarians keeps one in a perpetual ferment."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - AussieMick - 07-27-2024
My mum?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-28-2024
Is this First Lady still living?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-28-2024
No, she is not living.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-28-2024
It sounds too old for a 20th-century First Lady, but if it's a 19th-century First Lady, there are so many to choose from. Wild guess, Ida McKinley?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-28-2024
Not her, Rob. It was a 19th century First Lady.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - AussieMick - 07-28-2024
Abigail Adams ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-28-2024
Not her, Michael. Her husband served after the Civil War.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-28-2024
Rutherford Hayes wife, Lucy ?
(I googled his wife's name)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - J. Beckert - 07-28-2024
Sounds like a woman left home alone with the kids a lot. Julia Grant?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-29-2024
Gene and Joe...you are both close, but not correct.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-29-2024
How about Garfield's wife (I can't remember her name)?

Rob
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-29-2024
Kudos, Rob. That is correct. Lucretia Garfield wrote this in a letter to her husband on June 5, 1877.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 11-19-2024
What favor did former President Fillmore ask of President Lincoln?
No Googling please.
