Only First Lady to be married in the White House
Check filled out and signed: "Frances F. Cleveland", 7¼x3. Princeton, New Jersey, 1903 October 22. Check No. 1998, drawn on her personal account at the Princeton Bank, payable to N. B. Bogart for $11.30. On June 2, 1886, 21-year-old Frances Folsom married 49-year-old bachelor President Grover Cleveland in the White House, the only Presidential spouse to be wed there (widower Woodrow Wilson remarried while in office, to Edith Galt Wilson, but they wed in a private ceremony at her home). The daughter of Cleveland's late law partner, Frances was 11-years-old when her father died and she became Cleveland's ward. The Clevelands had five children. Grover Cleveland died in 1908. Frances remarried five years later, and lived until 1947. Ink slightly creased at the "r" of Frances and the "a" of Cleveland. Slightly creased, not at signature. Bank stamps on verso show through lightly, touching the initial "F". Overall, fine condition.
