Lila G. A. Woolfall

Lila G. A. Woolfall, born in 1864, is identified in library and public-domain records as Lila Graham Alliger Woolfall. She is chiefly remembered as the author of Presiding Ladies of the White House, a book that gathers biographical sketches of U.S. First Ladies and adds a short history of the Executive Mansion and its customs.

The book was published in the early 1900s and survives through library catalogs and Project Gutenberg, where it is listed under her name. It covers the women of the White House from Martha Washington through Edith Roosevelt, showing her interest in biography, public life, and the social side of American political history.

Reliable online sources for her personal life are limited, but memorial and reference records connect her with the fuller name Lila Graham Alliger Woolfall and give her life dates as 1864–1931. Because so little biographical detail is readily confirmed, she remains one of those authors known mainly through a single distinctive surviving work rather than a fully documented public career.
