Hard one. Dunno.
Not the only ones of which there are two - there are more Lizzies.
Neither M or A died in office, married in office, had a child in or after office - and before is hardly unique.
Some were married before they married the prez, but not all. Some were Second Lady as well, but not all. It's nothing to do with centuries, or second nam ...[text shortened]... A officially (!) had a president, that is, before Washington's inauguration in 1789. Is that it?

I haven't checked all later presidents, but Monroe died on that date, and Jefferson and Adams famously on the same day. If they're the only ones, interesting. It's not statistically meaningful that no other president did - there are only 40-ish presidents for 366 death dates - but three among the first ...[text shortened]... ay, closer and more personal for them, who had been involved themselves, may have played a part.

Anyway, I'll use the one I jumped the gun on earlier in the thread:
what connects Karl Benz, Gustav Krupp and... Pippin the Short?
Originally posted by @wolfgang59Yes, and all three of them formidable Berthas. Bertha Krupp ran the company (and had the gun named after her); Bertha Broadfoot was a great support for her son, Charlemagne; but Bertha Benz' is the best story of the three.
Google says .... Bertha
Is that right?
