	Grover Cleveland - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Cleveland was a hard worker and was scrupulously honest at a time when many politicians were neither, but he had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic problems in his second term.
		Cleveland was born in Caldwell, New Jersey to the Rev. Richard Cleveland and Anne Neal.
		Frances Cleveland was the youngest First Lady in the history of the U.S. Some of the more salacious sections of the press highlighted the age difference of the two: Cleveland had been the girl's de facto guardian since she was 11, and was revealed to have bought her parents a baby carriage for her.
