Fayetteville's BOB TWICHELL portrays the man who was both the Twenty-Second President (1885-1889) and then Twenty-Fourth President (1893-1897) of the United States, Stephen Grover Cleveland. Cleveland, who disliked his first name, lived in the house pictured to the left, from 1842 until 1850. The school he attended as a boy was located on the land where Mr. Twichell's residence is now, pictured below, left, on Elm Street

This home now stands on the site on Elm Street where Grover Cleveland attended school.

Grover Cleveland returned to Fayetteville to live again in 1851, where he worked as an apprentice in the general store at the age of 14, to help support his family after the sudden death of his father.

Like Al Gore in the 2000 Presidential Election, in 1888, while running for a second term as President, Cleveland won a larger popular majority than the Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison, but received fewer electoral votes, and was thereby defeated. He was elected President again in 1892 where he had to deal with a large economic depression, with farm failures and unemployment, a monetary crisis, and a railroad strike.

From 1845-1893, this was the home of abolitionist, suffragette, Indian rights advocate, and Fayetteville resident Matilda Joslyn Gage.

Fayetteville was home to another important person in America's history. Matilda Joslyn Gage, was a native of Cicero, NY, who moved to Fayetteville in 1845. As a young mother with four preschoolers at home, Gage signed a petition in 1850 stating that she would face a six month prison term and a $2,000 fine rather than obey the newly enacted Fugitive Slave law, which made criminals of anyone assisting slaves to freedom anywhere in the United States. Her passion for freedom and equality made Matilda Gage an ardent and eloquent advocate for women's right to vote., and an outspoken critic of brutal and unjust acts against Native Americans. Gage died in1898, two decades and two years before women received the right to vote in America.
