Talk:Frances Cleveland

message: The middle name is listed as "Clara" on many reliable sources, but here it is listed as "Cornelia", can anyone clear this up? I'm not sure where to search for it. On her tombstone she is listed as "Frances Folsom Cleveland Preston", but no middle name is cited.
It is "Frances Clara Folsom"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TimothyBanks (talk • contribs) 19:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Frances was the first first lady to give birth to a child while her husband was president. The Clevelands had three daughters and two sons:
* Ruth Cleveland (1891–1904) – Born in New York City during the interval between her father's terms as president. She died at the age of 12 of diphtheria and is buried in Princeton, New Jersey.
* Esther Cleveland (1893–1980) – Born September 9, 1893, at the White House in Washington, D.C. On March 14, 1918, at Westminster Abbey, she married Captain William Sidney Bence Bosanquet of the Coldstream Guards of the British Army. Their daughter was Philippa Foot (1920–2010), the British philosopher.
* Marion Cleveland (1895–1977) – Born in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, she attended Columbia University Teachers College and married, first, Stanley Dell and second, in 1926, John Amen, a New York lawyer. From 1943 to 1960 she was community relations director of the Girl Scouts of the USA (Girl Scouts of the United States prior to 1947) at its headquarters in New York.
* Richard Folsom Cleveland (1897–1974) – lawyer. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, he was an officer in the Marines during World War I, graduated from Princeton University in 1919, earned a master's degree in 1921 and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1924. He practiced law in Baltimore with the law firm of Semmes, Bowen, and Semmes and defended Whittaker Chambers against Alger Hiss's libel suit.

thread_title:  Uncited info 

message: This article goes directly from the subject’s early life to her later life with only a passing catalog of children. There is absolutely no information on the part of her life that she was most famous for, being the youngest first lady and very much a subject of media interest at the time. Was this section removed? Was it never written? In its current state, the article is shockingly deficient. The site at http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=23 has a great deal of information. It cannot be plagiarized, of course, and may have some propagandistic elements. Nevertheless, it gives readers a much better idea of the sort of detail that ought to be included in this article and yet is not.Fleisch57 (talk) 20:11, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: You are absolutely right! Are you interested in working on it? Or, perhaps work together on it?–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:08, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing section? 

message: There was some lovely information added to the article, but I reverted it here because it is uncited.
It is very likely that the article will be tagged for uncited content.
If someone wants to research this and provide a citation, that would be great. After I finish working on something, I may come back and do it if no one beats me to the punch.–CaroleHenson (talk) 07:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Featured picture scheduled for POTD 

message: The sentence starting with: 
Folsom met Grover Cleveland while she was an infant,
has been changed to
Frances Cleveland [...] She met him while an infant, [...]
*"while" is ridiculous here, it should be "as"
*The sentence will be ambiguous anyway.
Let's imagine the following sentence:
"Jim met Ben as an infant."
Who was the infant, Jim or Ben? 85.193.240.163 (talk) 19:08, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
