BESS TRUMAN
Bess Truman signs a printed card stating "I am pleased to comply
with your request for an autograph" in black ink.
Printed Card signed in ink: "Bess Truman", 6x4. Printed
message: "I am pleased to comply with your request for an autograph." In
1919, 35-year-old Harry S Truman married 34-year-old Elizabeth "Bess" Wallace.
When six-year old Harry Truman first met five-year-old Bess Wallace in a Sunday
School class at the First Presbyterian Church in Independence, Missouri. Harry
later said it was love at first sight. At his death in 1972, Harry and Bess
Truman had been married for 53 years but they had known each other for an
incredible 82 years! On her first day in the White House, First Lady Bess Truman
made breakfast, made the bed, washed dishes, dusted, vacuumed and then read a
detective novel, The Crimson Claw. Unlike her predecessor, Eleanor
Roosevelt, she gave no press conferences and usually responded to any questions
with a terse: "No comment". She tried to curb her husband's salty, blunt
language. When one society matron complained that the President had used the
word "manure" in public, Bess replied that it had taken her 20 years to get him
to say "manure". At her death in 1982 at 97, she had lived longer than any
other First Lady. Fine condition.
