Very nice identified uniform. Uniform is identified to the son of President Grover Cleveland, Richard F Cleveland. Hayes Otoupalik Collection. Richard Folsom "Dick" Cleveland (October 28, 1897 – January 10, 1974) was an American lawyer and civic leader who spent his career with the law firm of Semmes, Bowen & Semmes. He was the son of President Grover Cleveland. Whittaker Chambers considered him critical to the successful outcome of the Hiss Case. Cleveland was born in Princeton, New Jersey, the eldest son of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, and Frances Folsom. He was born nearly eight months after the end of his father's second term, and was named for his grandfather, Richard Falley Cleveland. He was the next to youngest of five siblings: sisters Ruth (1891–1904), Esther (1893–1980), and Marion (1895–1977), and brother Francis Grover (1903–1995). He attended Phillips Exeter Academy and in 1915, he entered Princeton University, became freshman class president, and played on the freshman football team. In 1916 or 1917, Cleveland broke off studies and joined the U.S. Marine Corps during World War I. In 1918, he joined the U.S. diplomatic corps and served in six months in Beijing (then still called "Peking") as military attaché at the U.S. legation. Later that year, he returned to Princeton and graduated in 1919. In 1921, he obtained an MA from Princeton and then enrolled in Harvard Law School.
