LADY BIRD JOHNSON
Lady Bird Johnson signs a printed card of the L.B.J. Ranch in
Stonewall, Texas.
Printed Card signed in ink: "Lady Bird Johnson", 5¾x3¾.
Depicts "L.B.J. Ranch/Stonewall, Texas" at upper margin. Born Claudia Alta
Taylor, "Lady Bird" (1912-2007) received her nickname after the family
nursemaid, Alice Tittle, remarked that the baby of Thomas and Minnie Taylor was
"as purty as a little lady bird". On November 6, 1934, she married Lyndon
Baines Johnson in San Antonio, Texas. Lady Bird was a shrewd businesswoman who
parlayed a small inheritance into a multimillion-dollar fortune in addition to
raising the couple's two daughters, Lynda Bird and Luci Baines. Both married
while their father was President (1963-1969) and Lady Bird was pursuing an
active role as First Lady (she is best known for actively promoting
national beautification projects). Following her husband's term, the Johnsons
returned to their Texas ranch, where LBJ died in 1973 (the couple had been
married for 39 years and 66 days at the time of his death). On December 22,
2006, Mrs. Johnson celebrated her 94th birthday; she died in July 2007.
Among First Ladies, only Bess Truman, who died at 97 in 1982, has lived longer.
