Rose Elizabeth is the youngest of nine
children born to Richard Falley and Anne
Neal Cleveland. She was born at Fayette-
vile, n. Y, from whence her parents re-
moved to Clinton when she was little
girl, and later to Holland Patent, little
hamlet near Utica, where her father took
possession of the Presbyterian parsonage in
September, 1853, and where he lived but
three weeks, leaving little Rose an orphan
at the age of years.
The parsonage had to be given up, and
the education of Rose became the mothers
life-thought. She studied Latin with the
minister of the village, and her fathers
well-stored library enabled her to slake her
thirst for knowledge.
She was sent to Houghton seminary,
where she proved
a BRILLIANT PUPIL,
and where she graduated, delivering an
essay on "Original People," which her
teacher thought depicted her own char
acter.
In the autumn of her graduation Rose
Went to HoughtOn seminary as a teacher.
and remained in that position for two years.
From thence she went to Lafayette, Ind.
wheresfor a year she held the position of
principal of the Collegiate institute.
She afterwards taught in PENNSYLVANIA
at private school for a short time, and her
whole career as teacher only covered about
, four and half years.
Teaching was irksome to her, and but fol
a sense of filial duty she would have given
it up sooner for more congenial work. She
formed the idea of lecturing before classes
and proposedto the principal of the Hough-
ton seminary to make the beginning at her
Alma Mater.
The latter entering heartily into the ar
rangement Miss Cleveland wrote a course
of historical lectures, which she delivered
that season. AS she devoted herself to hel
aged parent she was unable to leave Holland
Patent for any length of time to continue
her work'in that direction until after hel
mothers death in the summer of 1882.
After this sad event the brothers and
sisters naturally expected that the youngest
sister would make her home with one OF
them, but being of an
INDEPENDENT NATURE
and,thoroughly Self-reliant she preferred to
remain in the old house, where she contin-
ued to live, when not away lecturing, until
she went torthe White house.
In the autumn following her mothers
death she resumed work on her lectures
and produced series on Medieval History
which have been. given to post-graduates at
Houghton seminary, Elmira Female col
lege, atMiss Grahams School for Young
Ladies,on Fifth avenue, New York, and
other places.
1t was while engaged in the busy task of
planning additional papers that the wheel
of fortune swept her brother into the White
house, and at his request, in obedience to a
sense of duty, she relinsuished her chosen
work to.take her place by his side and pre-
side over his'household.
Her first calEwas to Albany after her
brother hadreceived the nomination for the
presidency In Chicago, and according to her
own>statement she. was only enabled to con-
troll her emotion when her brother was de-
liVerfng hisspeech of acceptance by concen-
Iratlng her min6upon the difficult task of
conjugating Greek verb.
Miss Cleveland will remain in the White
house'as long as her brother remains a
bachelor, butsshe is prepared for any emer-
gency. She has out offthe earnings of her
own

and she;has merely locked the door and mt
