Title	Lucy Webb Hayes Photograph
Subject	Ohio Women Education Hayes, Lucy Webb, 1831-1889 First ladies
Place	Delaware (Ohio) Delaware County (Ohio) Fremont (Ohio) Sandusky County (Ohio)
Description	This photograph of First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes was taken circa 1877. It is 4" x 6.5" (10.16 x 16.51 cm). Lucy Webb Hayes was affectionately termed Ohio Wesleyan University's "first co-ed" although she did not graduate from the university. Her family lived near campus and the university permitted her to attend classes in the all-male college. She married Delaware, Ohio native Rutherford B. Hayes, who served as president of the United States from 1877-1881 and was an Ohio Wesleyan University trustee for many years. Lucy Webb Hayes (1831-1889) was born Lucy Ware Webb in Chillicothe, Ohio. Lucy and Rutherford B. Hayes were married in 1852 and had eight children, five of whom survived to adulthood: Birchard, Webb, Rutherford Platt, Fanny, and Scott. She is noteworthy as the first wife of a president to be called "First Lady." During her husband's presidency, she banned the serving of alcohol in the White House, giving her the nickname "Lemonade Lucy." A strong anti-slavery supporter, Lucy worked for many social causes, including scholarships for American Indians and donations for the poor. When Congress banned children from rolling out their Easter eggs on the grounds of the Capitol, Lucy invited the children to the White House. The tradition continues today.
