Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Anita]

Just checked into the forum. Laurie, great post on Abigail Fillmore. I just read that he memorized his 3,319 word inaugural speech.

Poor Abigail. "Two months before his inauguration, the Pierce family was involved in a train wreck and their 11-year-old son, Benjamin, was thrown from the car and crushed to death before their eyes. His wife never recovered from the event. All three of their children died in childhood." http://www.classroomhelp.com/lessons/Pre...ierce.html
