Olive Risley Seward

Olive Risley Seward (July 15, 1844 – November 27, 1908) was the adopted daughter of William Henry Seward, United States Secretary of State under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson.
==Life==
Olive F. Risley, was born in Fredonia, New York, daughter of the former Harriet C. Crosby and Hanson A. Risley, a prominent civil servant who later worked for the Secretary of the Treasury and resided in Washington, D.C.. She attended local schools and grew up in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the capital.
Beginning about 1868, when she was in her early 20s, Olive Risley became a close companion of the widower statesman William Henry Seward in the last years of his life. Their relationship followed the deaths of Seward's wife Frances Adeline Miller Seward and daughter Frances Adeline "Fanny" Seward, and was shortly after the death of Olive's own mother (in 1866). In company with her sister Harriet Risley, and her father Hanson, Olive traveled extensively with Seward through Asia, the Middle East and Europe in 1870-1871. In order to curtail gossip and family worries that they might marry, Seward formally adopted Olive as his daughter in 1870. When they returned to New York, Seward and Olive began work on a travel book about their experiences, drawing largely on Olive's journal from the trip. Unfortunately, Seward died before the book was finished. Published by D. Appleton & Co. in 1873, ''William H. Seward's Travels Around the World'' became a best seller. According to James Cephas Derby, the Seward estate made $50,000 from the sales.
After Seward's death Olive moved back to Washington D.C., where she co-founded the Literary Society of Washington. She was also a member of the Washington Club and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She died in 1908 at her home.
