# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Lucy Ware Webb was born August 28, 1831, and became First Lady of Ohio twice during her husband Rutherford B. Hayes's non-consecutive terms as governor, from 1868 to 1872 and again in 1876. When Hayes was elected president and resigned the governorship on March 2, 1877, she moved into the White House the next day as the nation's 19th First Lady. An advocate for African Americans before and after the Civil War, she invited the first African-American professional musician to perform at the White House and ran a more egalitarian operation than her predecessors. Her husband banned alcohol from the executive mansion — she opposed it too, but he made the call — and historians later tagged her "Lemonade Lucy" for a stance that was really his. She died of a stroke on June 25, 1889, at fifty-seven.
