So again.... WHEN DID MAMA VOTE ???
WHO DID SHE VOTE FOR ???
It would have been 1948 Truman or in the 1952 Election Year of in which Dwight Eisenhower won the election for two terms...
Birth: October 14, 1890
INTERESTING TO ME..... Eisenhower actually looks like one of my Grandmother's brother!! Big mama herself (Martha Bell Sipuel) was born in 1885 and would have been 67 years old in 1952....
the 1900 Census (I'll post a picture of this document) verifies that the brother seated in this picture is named Scot Smith and was born in 1881. (married and a few other details were found!)
WHO DID SHE VOTE FOR ???
Birth: October 14, 1890
Death: March 28, 1969
Term of Office: January 20, 1953 - January 20, 1961
Becoming the President: Eisenhower was chosen to run on the Republican ticket with Richard Nixon as his Vice President against Adlai Stevenson. Both candidates campaigned vigorously. The campaign dealt with Communism and governmental waste. However, more people voted for "Ike" leading to his victory with 55% of the popular vote and 442 electoral votes. He ran again in 1956 against Stevenson. One of the main issues was Eisenhower's health due to a recent heart attack. In the end he won with 57% of the vote
