If I'd had the opportunity to wed in the White House, would I have done that? I think I would have! Not many people get to to that, and it's beautiful, historic, etc. But I am glad I married in a church!Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-11088797547391410692017-06-03T14:09:19.987-04:002017-06-03T14:09:19.987-04:00Hi Marilyn!

It aches my heart. She never married again, either.<br /><br />One of these days I need to read her book.Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-12009818910778893102017-06-03T12:56:05.317-04:002017-06-03T12:56:05.317-04:00It's interesting that Nellie would marry a man...It's interesting that Nellie would marry a man so much older. His oldest child wasn't much younger that she was. I'm saddened that her life didn't turn out to be a happy one. I wonder what happened to her daughters.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-74937163544801910412017-06-03T08:27:19.641-04:002017-06-03T08:27:19.641-04:00So very interesting!
