lucy page mercer rutherfurd

Lucy Page Mercer Rutherfurd, born Lucy Mercer, is best known as the mistress of Franklin Roosevelt. Mercer was hired by Franklin's wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, as a personal secretary in the winter of 1913. It was in this time that she began her romantic relationship with FDR. It is unclear when it started, but in September 1918 Eleanor discovered the relationship. Eleanor delivered an ultimatium to Franklin: stop seeing Lucy, or get a divorce. Franklin acceded to her demands, paying them lip service only. Unbeknownst to Eleanor, Franklin continued to see Mercer, whenever Roosevelt was in the Washington D.C. area. In February 1920, Mercer was married to Winthrop Rutherfurd, a wealthy South Carolinian. 25 years of history go here It is unclear whether the romantic affair continued after Lucy's marriage, but it is certain that feelings remained between the two. Mercer was with Franklin when he suffered the cerebral hemorrhage that killed him.
