Pretty close, Joe, but Rob got it. It was white according to Elizabeth Keckly. Good job, Rob.

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."

My mum?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-28-2024 07:08 AM
Is this First Lady still living?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-28-2024 10:00 AM
No, she is not living.

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?

Not her, Rob. It was a 19th century First Lady.

Abigail Adams ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-28-2024 06:28 PM
Not her, Michael. Her husband served after the Civil War.

Rutherford Hayes wife, Lucy ?
(I googled his wife's name)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - J. Beckert - 07-28-2024 09:26 PM
Sounds like a woman left home alone with the kids a lot. Julia Grant?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-29-2024 03:58 AM
Gene and Joe...you are both close, but not correct.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-29-2024 07:31 AM
How about Garfield's wife (I can't remember her name)?

Rob

Kudos, Rob. That is correct. Lucretia Garfield wrote this in a letter to her husband on June 5, 1877.
