[Origin: 1585–95; < Sp mulato young mule, equiv. to mul(o) mule1 + -ato of unclear orig.] [Spanish mulato, small mule, person of mixed race, mulatto, from mulo, mule, from Old Spanish, from Latin mulus.] ) woman making Dwight D. Eisenhower part black. She was born in Mount Sidney, Virginia, the only child to Elizabeth Ida and Simon P. Stover. When her mother died while she was only five years old, she was sent to live with (male) relatives who thought that girls shouldn't be educated, pushing her to memorize the Bible, in her mind one of her greatest achievements. When she was ready to go to high school, she was told that she couldn't so she ran away from her relative's home. She graduated at age 19 and taught for two years before entering Lane University and meeting future husband David Jacob Eisenhower. She was named Kansas Mother of the Year in 1945. Dwight said of her: "Many such persons of her faith, selflessness, and boundless consideration of others have been called saintly. She was that—but above all she was a worker, an administrator, a teacher and guide, a truly wonderful woman."
