Marley Cole in 1955 wrote "Jehovah's Witnesses the New World Society," which includes a photocopy of a letter Ida Eisenhower wrote in 1943 to J.w. I.H. Lawson of Long Island, N.Y. Therein, she stated that she had been in the truth since 1896 and Naomi Engle who stayed with her was also a witness. Since she died the next year, Mrs. Eisenhower apparently died as a faithful Jehovah's Witness. I read this book a number of years ago, but I no longer have a copy. I can't remember if Marley Cole is a Jw. or not. Does anyone know? If so, do you think that Jws exploited Mrs. Eisenhower by parading her as a Jw and mother of General Eisenhower? Since her son, Dwight David, went on to be president of the U.S., he must not have been impressed by this religion which opposes war and politics and was apparently embarrassed by his mother's affiliation since he tried at every opportunity to distance himself from the Watchtower. Dwight, if I remember correctly, attended the Presbyterian Church.
