On this day, June 18, in 1841, after considerable debate, Congress passed a bill submitted by John Quincy Adams to pay Anna Harrison a one-time stipend of $25,000.00 due to the death of William Henry Harrison. He was not in office long enough to receive his salary. Anna was also given free postage for the remainder of her life. She maintained a room devoted to the legacy of the President at their North Bend, Ohio property and it was written that when visitors stopped by to pay their respects and they asked for a souvenir signature, Anna would cut one off of the bottom of a letter until there were no more. (some information contained herein from the Cleveland Herald & Gazette, June 30, 1841).
