Grover Cleveland
Grover Cleveland served two terms as the President of the United States, though they were not consecutive. His first term ran from 1885 to 1889, though he lost the following reelection. He was elected yet again in 1893 and stayed in office until 1897. He was praised by Conservatives for his fiscal policy and his political reform advocacy. He dealt with the Panic of 1893, an economic depression, and the Pullman Strike of 1894, a nationwide strike of railroad workers. His biographer said, “He possessed honesty, courage, firmness, independence, and common sense. But he possessed them to a degree other men do not.”

Cleveland’s Marriage
Grover Cleveland remains the only President of the United States who got married at the White House. However, people took more interest in his bride at the time. His wife was 28 years younger than him and she was just 21 years old when they married. She charmed everyone nonetheless. She spoke fluent French on top of being beautiful and charismatic. She was none other than Frances Folsom Cleveland Preston.
