Who Was Frances Folsom?

Frances Folsom 11-21-2016 Most Americans know that Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and the 24th President of the United States. He was the ONLY president to serve a second term after being defeated after his first term. Something that I found very interesting is what his wife said to the staff just before she and her husband moved out of the White House after the first term. She told them to “take care of the furniture…We’ll be coming back in four years.” And that’s exactly what happened. Grover Cleveland married this 22-year-old Frances Folsom, who was the daughter of his former law partner, during his first term in office. Cleveland was a very large man, about 260 pounds, and according to all that’s been written about him, he was evidently a VERY honest man. He said that “A public office is a public trust.” He exposed a lot of dishonest people when he was the sheriff of New York’s Erie County. It was said that he “stood for old-fashioned honesty,” something the world could use right now.
