..Rutherford Hayes.. President and his life

…..HE WAS… 19th President of the United States (March 4, 1877 to March 3, 1881) Nicknamed: "Dark-Horse President" Born: October 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio Died: January 17, 1893, at Spiegel Grove in Fremont, Ohio

……Did you know…. Hayes' father died a few months before he was born. Of the five presidents who served in the Civil War, Hayes was the only one to be wounded. Arriving in San Francisco on September 8, 1880, Hayes became the first president to visit the West Coast while in office. Hayes was the first president to graduate from law school. Mrs. Hayes was known as "Lemonade Lucy" because she refused to serve alcohol in the White House. (Maybe that was one of the reasons he had problems) :) Lucy Hayes was the first First Lady to have graduated from college. He won the presidency by only one electoral vote. He signed the act that permitted women to plead before the Supreme Court. The first White House telephone was installed, by Alexander Graham Bell himself, during the Hayes administration. The first Easter egg roll on the White House lawn was conducted by Hayes and his wife
