Lucretia Rudolph Garfield served as First Lady of the United States in 1881 until the assassination of her husband, President James A. Garfield. In the fond eyes of her husband, President James A. Garfield, Lucretia “grows up to every new emergency with fine tact and faultless taste.” She proved this in the eyes of the nation, though she was always a reserved, self-contained woman.
