Theodore
Roosevelt’s wife and mother die hours apart.
His mother died of typhoid fever and
his wife died of Bright’s disease, a kidney illness.
Roosevelt was devastated by
the double loss. He had his sister raise
his daughter Alice and headed to the Dakota territories where he ranched and
even served as sheriff for a couple of years. He came back to the east coast in
1886 and got re-involved in politics, becoming President in 1901.
