President Roosevelt asks Representative Loudenslager, Chairman of the Committee on Pensions, if it is possible to pass a bill granting a pension to President Grover Cleveland’s widow, Frances Folsom Cleveland. He notes that the widows of Presidents James A. Garfield and William McKinley are granted pensions. Although Garfield and McKinley both served in the army, their widows received pensions because of their husbands’ service as Presidents.
