	Bess Truman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elizabeth Virginia Wallace Truman (February 13, 1885 – October 18, 1982), often known as "Bess Truman", was the wife of Harry S Truman and First Lady of the United States from 1945 to 1953.
		Christened Elizabeth Virginia, she grew up as "Bessie." Harry Truman, whose family moved to town in 1890, always kept his first impression of her -- "golden curls" and "the most beautiful blue eyes." A relative said, "there never was but one girl in the world" for him.
		After a 1959 mastectomy, Mrs Truman thought she was about to die considering that as Mr Truman stated "she had a tumour the size of a basketball" although it was benign.
