MAMIE DOUD EISENHOWER. Photograph
signed: "Mamie Doud Eisenhower". B/w, 8x10 overall,
image 7½x7¾ (one surface). On July 1, 1916, 25-year-old Second Lieutenant Dwight
D. Eisenhower and 19-year-old Mamie Geneva Doud (1896-1979) were married in
Denver, Colorado. They had two sons: Dwight Doud Eisenhower
(1917-1920) and John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower (born in 1923). As an Army wife for
37 years, Mamie grew accustomed to entertaining groups of influential people, a
talent she drew upon during her eight years as the White House hostess (1953-1961). In their 53 years of married life, the
Eisenhowers lived in 33 homes; their last in Gettysburg was the only home they
owned together. During Ike's final illness, Mamie moved into Walter Reed Army
Hospital to be with him during the final months of his life. Lightly creased at
lower left blank corner. Fine condition.
