Grover Cleveland met his wife when she was born and he was 27. He took care of her after her father died and married her when she turned 21. How was this relationship viewed by the public?

I’m sure many of us saw the TIL about Grover Cleveland. How did the public react to this? Was it seen as a Cinderella type situation or seen as immoral that a father figure would marry a girl. Was this age gap at the time still very common?

More input is always welcome; in the meantime, this exact question came up last month, and you may be interested in what u/WovenCoverlet and u/sunagainstgold had to say on the topic.
