She went with him on diplomatic missions and supported him in the positions he held in Washington, and eventually the White House. Clover Hooper Adams (1843-1885) was the wife of Henry Adams, the historian. She came from a wealthy and proper Bostonian family. She took her own life and is remembered for the St. Gaudens statue in Washington's Rock Creek Park, given in her memory by her husband.
