Ellen Wilson (1860 - 1914) was the wife of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, and served as First Lady from 1913 until her death in 1914. Born in Savannah, Georgia on May 15, 1860, Ellen was the daughter of a prominent Southern family and had a strong background in the arts and culture. She married Woodrow Wilson in 1885, and they had three daughters together.

As First Lady, Ellen Wilson was known for her dedication to social welfare and reform. She was particularly focused on improving housing conditions for the poor and worked to promote urban development and beautification projects in Washington, D.C. Ellen also played an active role in her husband's political career and was highly regarded for her intelligence and charm.

Tragically, Ellen Wilson died of nephritis on August 6, 1914, just months into her husband's presidency. Her death deeply affected President Wilson, and he later remarried in 1915 to Edith Wilson, who took on a much more public role as First Lady. Ellen's legacy remains tied to her contributions to social causes and her role as a supportive partner during Woodrow Wilson’s early presidency.
