Ellen Lewis Herndon Arthur : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ellen Lewis Herndon Arthur Ellen Lewis Herndon Arthur (August 30, 1837 – January 12, 1880) was the wife of the 21st President of the United States, Chester A. Arthur I. She died before he took office as President. ==Early life== Ellen Lewis Herndon, called "Nell," was born in Culpeper Court House, Virginia, the daughter of William Lewis Herndon and Frances Elizabeth Hansborough. Her father was a naval officer who gained national renown in 1857 when he went down with his ship, the mail steamer ''SS Central America,'' along with more than 400 passengers and crew. It was the largest loss of life in a commercial shipping disaster, up until that time. Herndon had safely evacuated 152 women and children to another vessel during the severe hurricane off Cape Hatteras, but his ship could not be saved. Nell was 20 when her father died. One of her father's cousins was Matthew Fontaine Maury, another notable naval officer and explorer.
