Lucy Ware Webb first met Rutherford B. Hayes in 1844, when her brothers enrolled at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. Later Lucy and her mother moved to Cincinnati, Ohio when she enrolled in the Cincinnati Wesleyan Female College. When Rutherford moved to Cincinnati in 1850, his sister Fanny urged him to contact the Webb family. By chance that year, Lucy was a bridesmaid and Rutherford a groomsman for the same wedding party. After two years of courting, Lucy and Rutherford were married in her mother’s parlor on December 30, 1852.
