Ellen Lewis Herndon and Chester Arthur I were introduced in 1856 and married in 1859. A talented soprano, Nell Arthur sang with the Mendelssohn Glee Club and performed at benefits around New York. They had two sons, one of whom died young, and a daughter. In January 1880, Nell Arthur came down with a cold. She quickly developed pneumonia and died two days later on January 12, 1880 at age 42. Arthur deeply mourned the death of his wife. After taking office as president, Arthur, who could see St. John's Episcopal Church from his office, commissioned a stained glass window dedicated to his wife at the church. He had it installed where he could view it at night, as the lights were kept on within the church. In addition, he ordered fresh flowers placed daily before her portrait in the White House.
