Why James Buchanan Never Married Revealed After Fifty Years
A Minneapolis woman recalls James Buchanan’s life and explains why the fifteenth U.S. president, known for his quiet, modest nature, never wed. The tale centers on Buchanan’s early Lancaster, Pennsylvania circle, a love triangle involving Miss Coleman and Miss Hubley, and a claim that societal scandal influenced his bachelorhood. He reportedly wished burial at Woodlawn Hill, disliked ostentation, and cherished memories of Coleman. The column also includes unrelated brief items on animal perfume tests and a geranium cure for illness in later notes.
