When I worked for the GOP back in the 1990s I would often run into Grover Cleveland’s son Francis who lived in NH. He used to show up at GOP meetings. Nice old guy. It was strange talking to the son of an American president from the 1880s in in the 1990s.

Hard to believe.

Maybe harder to believe: somebody in education and the arts who was a Republican for 50 years, though it looks like theater became a sideline for him.

John Tyler (1790-1862, President 1841-1845) still has living grandchildren. A granddaughter of James Garfield is also still alive, and somewhere out there still hanging on are at least two children of Civil War veterans.

The old guy was indeed a republican, but he was not a party activist of any sort. He liked the social aspect of showing up to GOP meetings, and eveyone enjoyed interacting with him. Grover Cleveland’s grandson (not Francis’s kid, but Richard’s I believe) lives in central NH & is an active democrat....he’s also something of a nitwit from what I gather.
