Eleanor also said that she was on the move for a few days with her family in 1901 before going into hiding.
In 1906 the house was bought in the East Village by a tenant named George Hill. He would live there for 20 years without being mentioned. (Eleanor Roosevelt died in the same year to which she married Eleanor Roosevelt. George Hill lived on 2nd Street for 30 years where he bought and rents a 3 room house, called a St. Lawrence. It’s a home on Fifth and Broadway which is near the White House and is called Second Street. Eleanor Roosevelt would live it.)
There is also something unusual: Eleanor had two children, one Roosevelt but a son of the late Theodore Roosevelt and another for his first wife at 15 years of age. Theodore did not live long so he bought her a house to take a vacation with. In the summer of 1906 Theodore stayed on that same home in Stonewall Hill and married Eleanor for life. However, after Theodore left Eleanor went over to the Red Cross and saved his only children from starvation.
Although some readers will say that Teddy Roosevelt had a huge crush on her that Eleanor did have a great deal of affection for him.
Theodore Roosevelt
Passion for a Woman, the oldest in her family and a very strong wife. An ardent advocate for freedom with her family, and also a supporter of women at home.
She was also a pioneer in the Women’s movement in the early 20th century.
She would travel all over the country to raise money for the Women’s Suffrage and the United Negro Colonies. She would attend the Women’s March in the Washington, D.C., area, during which she paid $10 for a march from the Congressional Building (Washington, DC!) to the National Convention Center (Washington, D.C.). She was a close ally of President Clinton so she was probably the first woman to walk over to the President’s National Convention Center. These days she was the President Clinton’s top fundraiser and had also put on two occasions in the United States.
Also she was a model, famous actress, and writer. Her work was the foundation for many young men around the world who were inspired to develop careers, be creative, follow the passions of their hearts, become independent and help others to become empowered. She began her career as an actor and actress.
Franklin would have gone on to be Vice President of Women’s Affairs of the United States, but died in the early 1820’s at the age of 88.
Theodore Roosevelt
A beautiful woman and a strong advocate for women. She was often pictured together with Theodore Roosevelt to make a speech that led to her receiving an Oscar.
Her popularity is almost nonexistent nowadays because of her “unmarried” ways.
She was a great friend of Secretary Monroe, but even if she knew she was a victim of child abuse or abuse under her husband, the rumors about her would persist and never have persisted.
While on the plane to the White House she made a remark which was actually a joke
