Lucy Ware Webb Hayes married Rutherford B. "Rud" Hayes in 1852 and lived in Cincinnati until the Civil War. The future President grew to share her deep opposition to slavery. Mrs. Hayes was a temperance advocate, and alcohol was banned at the White House during her husband's administration. However, her famous nickname "Lemonade Lucy" was apparently only used after she left the White House.
