Nope, it was not Eleanor Roosevelt.

Dolley Madison?

Lucretia Garfield? I just saw something about her wearing widows weeds for the rest of her life after President Garfield passed.

You both are in the right century, but it's not Dolley Madison or Lucretia Garfield.

This was a tough one, so I think I'll just post the answer. It's Sarah Polk. Sarah Polk made her comment about aging to Reverend Peschau. Reverend Peschau had been a former pastor of the German Lutheran Church in Nashville, Tennessee.
