Edson S. Densmore

Edson S. Densmore (1849 — November 13, 1892) was an American civil servant who served as a Doorkeeper to the President of the United States from 1885 to 1887, and as Chief Usher of the White House in Washington, D.C., briefly in 1887 and again from March 1889 until his death in November 1892.
==Early life and police career==
Edson S. Densmore was born about 1849 in Chelsea, Vermont, to William and Lydia A. Densmore. His father was a farmer, and he had at least two siblings: Milton (born in 1840) and Jason (born in 1846). Some time before 1860, his mother went insane, and Densmore ran away from home in 1861 to live with Chelsea residents Franklin and Sylvia Dearborn, their teenage daughter, and Dearborn's aged mother. His schooling was minimal.
By 1870, Densmore was living in Washington, D.C., where he worked as a carpenter and had married Emma A. Roberts.〔〔; 〕 Their union produced two daughters, Annie and Elsie. In 1872,〔〔 he joined the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPD). Tall, handsome, muscular, and intelligent, Densmore was often the point-man the D.C. police turned to for their most difficult cases. President Ulysses S. Grant specifically asked the MPD to assign Densmore to break up the District of Columbia's gambling dens on E Street NW.〔 After his successes there, the MPD promoted him to sergeant.〔 He was then assigned to the Willard Hotel and asked to break up a gang of gentlemen thieves who broke into wealthy people's rooms and stole money and jewels.〔 Densmore ingratiated himself with the thieves, and broke the robbery ring. His incredible ability to remember faces and names proved critical in convicting the criminals. Offered a promotion to lieutenant, Densmore turned it down as he wanted to keep working on city streets rather than supervising others.〔
