On the website this link http://www.pbase.com/talshiarr/woodside goes to there is some discussion about the First Lady of James Buchanan being buried at Woodside. This is a big mistake. Do an Internet search on Harriet Lane. Harriet was the First Lady to President James Buchanan. Harriet is the niece. Harriet IS NOT buried at Woodside. Harriet is still a very interesting story/life. She just isn't the one buried at Woodside.
Some are familiar with Emaline Buchanan. Emaline did in fact marry Simmons Philander Curtis. Emaline is the one that is buried at Woodside. Emaline is a cousin to President Buchanan. Emaline's father, John, is a first or full cousin of the President. I believe that makes Emaline first cousin once removed. Even though there is no First Lady buried at Woodside it is still good to know that there is a cousin buried there. It is good to know the truth or as Paul Harvey would say, "The rest of the story". Now we know it.
