References

All of the references look suitable, just a few minor things:

Ref #1: the URL is now dead, so the primary link should be replaced with the archive URL. (the citation also uses a weird format; it could be switched to {{Cite web}})
Ref #2: add archive URL
Ref #7: link to the author Robert P. Watson
Ref #8: merge with ref #2
Ref #10: link Oxford University Press
Ref #11: available at archive.org [1]
Ref #12: can link to A Secret Life (book), as well as the author Charles Lachman. This reference also uses a different format to most of the others -- most are Last, First (year). Title. Publisher. pp x-y. while this one is First Last, Title, p x (year)
Ref #16: add archive URL
Ref #17: add archive URL
Ref #20: link Henry Graff

Prose

When her father died in 1875, Grover became the executor of Oscar Folsom's estate. Oscar Folsom's name is never mentioned before this; could be changed to "... the executor of his estate."
Her sister, Nellie Augusta, died in infancy (1872). the year doesn't need to be in brackets; could be changed to "died in infancy in 1872."
...she organized a fake fishing trip during which he had a tumor removed. the source doesn't support this; what it does say is To hide the seriousness of the problem from the press, Cleveland scheduled a fake fishing trip, and on board the boat a physician removed the growth. The source doesn't clarify which Cleveland organized the trip, but I did find this source which states that Grover was the one who organized the trip.
Polling of historians recognizes her performance as above average... the source for this statement is this, which ranks her 13 out of 42, 22 out of 37, 23 out of 38, and 20 out of 38. Three of these rankings are below the average.
Her presence in the White House mitigated his gruff reputation... President Cleveland is not mentioned in this paragraph. "his" could be replaced with "her husband's".

Spot checks

I've checked most of the footnotes, and except for the couple mentioned above everything checks out.
