• Notes

  Fragile and petite, she was a cashier in her father's bank when she met McKinley, thus making her the first career woman to become First Lady. Because she was nearly an invalid, Mrs. Garret A. Hobart, wife of the vice- president, performed many of the duties in the White House as "Second Lady".
