built 439 days ago
According to the National First Ladies Library, Lucy met Rutherford when she was only 14, but the two did not start courting until she was in college. In 1850, she graduated with honors from Wesleyan Female College in Cincinnati, Ohio, and delivered a speech at her commencement entitled "The Influence of Christianity on National Prosperity." After an engagement of a year and a half, the two were married in her mother’s home in Chillicothe, Ohio. The couple had eight children, though two of their sons died in early childhood.
