Rutherford
B
.
Hayes
was the
fifth
child
of
Rutherford
and
Sophia
Birchard
Hayes
,
who
came
to
Ohio
in
1817
from
Vermont
. He was
born
October
4
,
1822
, at
Delaware
,
Ohio
,
two
months
after
the
death
of his
father
.
Young
Rutherford
and
sister
Fanny
Arabella
were
raised
by their
mother
and her
younger
bachelor
brother
Sardis
Birchard
.
Hayes
graduated
from
Kenyon
College
in
Gambier
,
Ohio
in
1842
and from
Harvard
Law
School
in
1845
. He
began
his
law
practice
in
Lower
Sandusky
, but
moved
in
1849
to
Cincinnati
,
where
he
became
a
successful
lawyer
, a
Republican
, and an
opponent
of
slavery
.
Hayes
was
elected
to
Congress
during
the
Civil
War
despite
his
refusal
to
campaign
. He was
reelected
in
1866
. The
following
year
Ohio
voters
elected
him
governor
. He
retired
to
Fremont
after
completing
his
second
gubernatorial
term
in
1872
, but was
elected
for a
third
term
in
1875
. That
same
year
, the
Republican
Party
chose
Hayes
as its
presidential
candidate
. He
won
the
1876
election
only
after
the
creation
of a
special
commission
to
decide
disputed
electoral
votes
.
Honoring
his
commitment
not to
accept
a
second
term
,
Hayes
retired
to his
beautiful
home
,
Spiegel
Grove
,
where
he
died
on
January
17
,
1893
.
Lucy
Webb
Hayes
,
born

in
Chillicothe
,

,
is
noteworthy
as the
first
wife
of a
president
to be
called
"
First
Lady
" and the
first
to have
graduated
from
college
. As
First
Lady
, 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
Native
Americans
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
.
Lucy
Hayes
suffered
a
fatal
stroke
and
died
on
June
25
,
1889
.
