Document 263248

CALVIN COOLIDGE and GRACE COOLIDGE. Pair of White House Cards, each 4¼x2¾, imprinted in upper right: "the white house/washington", one signed: "Calvin Coolidge" as President, the other signed: "Grace Coolidge" as First Lady. On October 4, 1905, 33-year-old CALVIN COOLIDGE and 26-year-old GRACE ANNA GOODHUE were married in Burlington, Vermont. Vice President Coolidge (1872-1933) succeeded to the presidency after President Harding died in 1923 and served until 1929. Grace Coolidge (1879-1957) was called her husband's greatest asset because of her warm, giving ways in contrast to her quiet husband. They had two sons: John (1906-2000) and Calvin (1908-1924). Forbidden by Coolidge to speak in public, she once answered reporters in sign language for the deaf. Her husband set her schedule and would not let her fly in a plane, bob her hair, wear short skirts or ride a horse. The White House staff called her "Sunshine". Fine condition. Two items.
