Rutherford B. Hayes Signature on Card W. Spiegel Grove Address
Rutherford B. Hayes dated and signed card, 4.5" x 3.5". Dated "March 19, 1881", and signed "Spiegel Grove, Fremont O / R.B. Hayes". The card is lightly toned with a tiny stain spot, else near fine.
A lovely card signed by Hayes who included his estate address of Spiegel Grove in Fremont Ohio. It was so named for the large puddles of rainwater that collect beneath the towering trees following a storm. "Spiegel" is the German word for mirror - an accurate description for these nature-made reflecting pools. President Rutherford B. Hayes inherited the property from his maternal uncle who had constructed the original portion of the home between 1859 and 1863 as a summer home he could share with his nephew and young family.
Hayes moved his family into the home in 1873 for two years before leaving to serve as Governor of Ohio and then President of the United States, and again after the completion of his term.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
