(1)When Lucy Ware Webb was a young girl, she had no idea she would one day end up at the White House. Born in Ohio in 1831, Lucy was two years old when her father died. He had gone to Kentucky to help free slaves.
(2) Lucy was a bright girl. At the age of thirteen, she was already taking college classes. Many years later, she would become the first wife of a U. S. president to have earned a college degree.
(3) In Cincinnati, Lucy met her future husband. Rutherford B. Hayes had a law office there, and after meeting Lucy, he visited the Webb home often. In his diary, he wrote about Lucy. “Her low sweet voice is very winning . . . a heart as true as steel . . . Intellect she has too. . . . By George! I am in love with her!” They married in 1852 and raised five children. (4) Like her father, Lucy opposed slavery. When the Civil War started, she supported the war. She visited U. S. Army headquarters often and cared for wounded soldiers. The soldiers nicknamed her “Mother Lucy.”
(5) After the war, her husband became governor of Ohio. As the state’s first lady, Lucy continued to help those in need, even building a children’s home in Columbus.
(6) In 1877, Rutherford B. Hayes was confirmed as the nineteenth president of the United States. Lucy was a well-loved first lady, known for her kindness and intelligence. She even helped save the popular Easter egg event held in Washington. Congress had closed the Capitol Hill grounds because the children were ruining the grass. Lucy moved the event to the White House lawn, where it is still held today.
