On July 1, 1916, 19-year-old Mamie Geneva Doud (1896-1979) married
25-year-old Second Lieutenant Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) in Denver,
Colorado. They had two sons: Dwight Doud Eisenhower (1917-1920) and John
Sheldon Doud Eisenhower (born in 1923). As an Army wife for 37 years, Mamie grew
accustomed to entertaining groups of influential people, a talent she drew upon
during her eight years as First Lady (1953-1961). In their 53 years of
married life, the Eisenhowers lived in 33 homes; their last, in Gettysburg, was
the only home they owned together. During Ike's final illness, Mamie moved
into Walter Reed Army Hospital to be with him during the final months of his
life. 1 horizontal fold crease through center. Lightly creased. Fine
