#22 and #24 Grover Cleveland

                     1885--1889 / 1893--1897

--Grover Cleveland is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms, and therefore is the only individual to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents.

--His first name was Stephen but he preferred to go by his middle name, Grover.

--He married Frances Folsom, the 21 yr old daughter of an old friend of Cleveland's, when he was president (Cleveland's the only president to get married in the White House). Folsom is the youngest first lady in U.S. history.

--In 1893 Cleveland had a portion of his upper jaw and hard palate removed during a risky operation to get rid of a cancerous lesion on his upper left jaw--the surgery was performed on a yacht sailing just off of Long Island. The surgeons performed the entire operation inside the mouth without making a single external incision. A vulcanized rubber plate was made for the president, which restored his speaking voice so well that when he reappeared in public no one could detect that an operation had taken place.
