K The three widows of ex-presidents
I J1*? .lames A. Garfield, Mrs.
B ljenjamin Harrison and Mrs. Grover
f " Cleveland. It has nearly always been
I the ease I hat the widows of presidents
have ont numbered former holdera
of the office. The strain of earing
-?>i the nation's affairs seems to bear
heavily on incumbents of the Chief I
Magistracy, and it is rare, indeed,
says the Hoslon Herald, to have had
(more than two ex-presidents living at
the same time, despite the fad that
ho term of office beiuir onlv four
years, it would naturally be'expected
more would survive after concluding
terms of office to receive the respect
of their fellow citizens.
Mrs. Garfield has long survived
I her husband, who has now been dead
J almost 27 years.
| Mrs. Garfield divides her time between
three places. She deeply loves
) her old home town of Mentor, ().,
! which is rich in memories .>f her
>ounj? lite. I here her children were
raised, there are a thousand meinorjes
of the statesman stricken down
hv the bullet of Gilcau.

during the brief time that he occuthe

| of idylic surroundings. She spends
I most of her time sewing and rendI
in.ff. She is a sweet and gracious wo|
man. gentle and kindly and always
ready to speak of | he t riumphs of her
husband.
Mrs. Benjamin Harris.
Mrs. Hen.jatnin Harrison was not
actually a lady of (he White House,
for her distinguished husband had
retired from public life before lie
married.
She became a member of the Harrison
household prior to his election
to the presidency, and after his in luiruiation
she took a prominent
j" Hie activities of social
Washington.
The first wife. I\Irs. Marv Scott
Harrison was an invalid during a
large part of Mr. Harrison's =|;-.v a!
the While House, and much of the
social duty devolved upon Mrs. Rhumb
k. She cared for it with complete
s.i< cess.
When four years after his passimfrom
the White House Mr. Harrison
announced his purpose to remarry,
there was general pleasure and lieaVliesl
good will expressed all over the
country. On February 21. 1807, a
child was born to (he pair, Elizabeth
Harrison.
A woman of rare beauty and
charm. Mrs. Harrison is very popular.
h"th in Inndianapolis. where she had
her home, and in Tuxedo, N. Y.
where she spends much of her time.
Mrs. Cleveland.
Mi's. ( levclaud has onTy latelv been
made the widow of a president. The
whole life of |his lovable woman,
since her girlhood days. radiated
"round the life of the only man the
Democrats have succeeded in putting
m the While House in half a century
of effort. They were wedded in the
White House during the first limn of
the then New Yorker.
For the remaining three years of
his term Mrs. Cleveland presided with
a charm and dignity that were iroresistible,
and that gave her perhaps
more thorough popularity than any
woman of the many who have held
the title of "First Ladv of (he
Land."
For four years more in private life, j
Mrs. Cleveland continued to hold a
place in the affections of the people, 1
and when in 1802 the vote of the peo- I
pie carried Grover Cleveland back in-I
to the chair of Washington, many a I
Republican found the paugs of hav
u- Democratic president lessened
b\ I lie tact that his selection returned
Mrs. Cleveland fo her old place.
Her triumphs of the first term
were abundantly repealed. ami when
(?nce more the pair retired to private
,n take up their home in beautiful
We-t lands, their I \ iucetoii bode,
Mrs. ( level-.p,! remained a hcaulif.il I
memory to the nation |h:i| had genuinely
loved her.
Now as a widow, charged with the
responsibility of training hei famil.,
tin old affection is sti1! (hero.

!ino of White House widows, first

lime. She died in 1782, while life did 1 pi
not go from I lie body ol' the greatest '
of Democrats until 1820. j pi
^ Mrs. Madison lived Kl#years after ibi

John Adams outlived his wife; so jN
did Andrew Jackson. John (^uincv
Adams died four years before his
wife. j,l,

First Pensioned Widow. | A
The first time a pension was ever!'''
suuiiested for the widow of an ex-j
president was when William IT. liar- w
rison died one month after his inau- s:
gural ion. I'rior to that time there1!1'
had been only one instance of a wid- l"
o\v getting any favors whatever. This '
was when Dolly Madison was granted
tin? right to publish in other countries
her own benefit the manuscript "
debates on the Constitution.
I In; death ol Harrison peculiarly
appealed to (he senlimenl of the nation,
and Mrs. Harrison was voted
out right *2.>,000. T'ven this sum was
not extravagant, for she had to live
' f'"' I he 2.'{ years slie survived
her husband.
I lie second Mrs. T\ ler. w!in maclied

ollice, occupied the White !lou-e;
eight months.
When I lie forinei' pre.': lei: dieil i
!H")2 it was f e.md that he had 1 fl
his widow so poorly provided !'>r I'
that government help became imper.i- t
live. Therefore, a pension of $.">,000 j 1*
yearly was granted, which Mrs. Tyler S
continued to draw until her death 27
years la ler. \
Franklin Pierce outlived his wil'e n
six years. Buchanan was a bachelor. ^
Fillmore's second wife outlived him
seven years, bul never received gov- (]
eminent aid.
In the burst of pity and affection (
that f<dlowed (lie off-taking of Lincoln,
the nation sought a means of
doing something for those who had a
been dear to him, An outright $2.">.- f
000 was granted to the widow and
she was further given a pen-don of
$.">.000 yearly. j.
Johnson s wife outlived him but
one year. There was no pension in
that lime.
The distinguished services that f
(Irani had rendered his country received
some acknewledgeinenl in the!(}
shape of a $0,000 pension for his ,,
widow, which was undoubtedly wel- |,
come, since the inisforlunes of tlie
former president in the banking ousi- /
ness had gone far to reduce his never v
extensive foriune. I
Mrs. Hayes died before her hus- j
