Lucy Hayes
Lucy Ware Webb Hayes (born August 28, 1831 in Chillicothe , Ohio , † June 25, 1889 in Fremont , Ohio) was the wife of US President Rutherford B. Hayes and during his presidency (1877-1881) the US First Lady . She is considered one of the most popular first ladies of the 19th century . She was nicknamed "Lemonade Lucy" because her husband, at her insistence, forbade the consumption of alcohol in the White House .
She graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University and was the first first lady to receive a doctorate from a college. In 1881 she and her husband retired to Spiegel Grove in Fremont, Ohio, where she died of a stroke in 1889 at the age of 57 .
