Frances Cleveland (1864–1947) was first lady of the United States from 1886 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897, the wife of President Grover Cleveland. She met him while an infant, as he was a friend, and later the executor, of her father, Oscar Folsom. Grover settled Oscar's debts and provided for Frances. She graduated from Wells College, then married Grover while he was president. When he lost reelection in 1888, they went into private life for four years, returning when he was elected again in 1892. Much of her time then was dedicated to their children; they had five, four of whom survived to adulthood. Frances Cleveland served on the Wells College board, supported women's education, and organized kindergartens. Grover died in 1908, and she married Thomas J. Preston Jr. in 1913. During World War I, she was active in the movement for American involvement and advocated military preparedness. She died in 1947 and was buried alongside Grover Cleveland in [[Princeton Cemetery].
