"Twice" FIRST LADY to U.S. President Grover Cleveland Signed "Executive Mansion. - Washington." Official Card
FRANCIS F. CLEVELAND (1864-1927). First Lady married to the President of the United States Grover Cleveland, and was the First Lady of the United States from 1886 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897.
1887-Dated, Autographed "Executive Mansion. - Washington." Card Signed, "Francis Cleveland." as First Lady, measuring 4.5" x 2.75", Washington, Choice Crisp Extremely Fine. When Frances Cleveland married Grover Cleveland, she became the youngest First Lady ever, and the first to be married in the White House. Removed from a prior album with glue remnants on the blank back. Wonderful huge 3.75" long vivid signature has great eye appeal on this scarce official "Executive Mansion" card.
In the spring of 1885, while visiting Washington, D.C., with her mother, Frances received a marriage proposal from Grover Cleveland, the president of the United States. Upon returning from her trip to Europe, at 21 years old, Frances married the president in the White House's Blue Room on June 2, 1886. By doing so, Frances became the youngest-ever American first lady. She was also the only first lady ever to have been married at the White House.
Frances supported projects in Washington, including the Women's Christian Temperance Movement's "Hope and Help Project," and helped establish the Washington Home for Friendless Colored Girls.
Grover Cleveland's first term ended in 1889, and he would not take office for his second (noncontinuous) term until March 1893. In the interim, Frances gave birth to a daughter, Ruth (1891). She was pregnant again by the time her husband started his second term and gave birth to another daughter, Ester, in September 1893. During Cleveland's second term, the family welcomed a third daughter, Marion (1895), to the world.
