Eliza McCardle Johnson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth McCardle Johnson (October 4, 1810 in Greeneville, Tennessee – January 15, 1876 in Greenville, Tennessee) was the 22nd First Lady of the United States and the wife of Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States. He credits her in teaching him how to read and write having never gone to school. She supported her husband in his political career, but had tried to avoid public appearances. Though she lived in the White House, she was not able to serve as First Lady due to her poor health, so her daughters Martha Johnson Patterson, and Mary Johnson Stover stepped in.
