First Lady of the United States

Jane Pierce became the First Lady of the United States after her husband won the 1852 general elections. Sadly, a few days before the swearing-in ceremony, she lost her child to a train accident and because of that, she wasn’t present at the ceremony.
Pierce did not actually perform any roles as every First Lady should do for almost 2 years until in 1855, when she made her first Lady appearance during a New Year’s Day Reception.
