Clarence John Boettiger (1900 — October 31, 1950) was an American newspaperman and military officer. He was the second husband of Anna Roosevelt, the daughter and first child of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. ==Early life== Clarence John Boettiger was born in Chicago in 1900, the son of Adam C. Boettiger, a banker, and his wife. He began his career in journalism as a police reporter for the City News Bureau. He joined the ''Chicago Tribune'' in 1923 and was assigned to Washington, D.C., to cover President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he was first elected in 1932. The ''Tribune'' was fiercely anti-Roosevelt. Boettiger met FDR's daughter, Anna Roosevelt Dall, on her father's campaign train. She was recently separated from her husband Curtis Dall, and was living in the White House with her two children. Had Clarence's and Anna's relationship been publicized, the course of American history may have changed, as such a scandal could have damaged FDR's candidacy for the presidency. Since Boettiger was a colleague and friend of the press, no one reported the romance. Both parties divorced their first spouses. On January 18, 1935, Clarence and Anna were married in the Roosevelts' New York townhouse at 49 E. 65th Street. The wedding was low-key and the couple said they would live quietly. At that time Boettiger had resigned from the ''Tribune'' and taken a job with the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America.〔''New York Times,'' 19 January 1935〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clarence John Boettiger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
