Married to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Edith became one of the most politically significant women of the 20th Century when she acted on behalf of the President after he suffered a stroke in 1919. She is the only First Lady buried in the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Her last visit to Wytheville was on April 26, 1960, to dedicate stained glass windows at St. John’s to her parents’ memory.
