Find A Grave Memorial# 1341

Birth: Dec. 13, 1818-Lexington,Fayette County,Kentucky, USA
Death: Jul. 16, 1882-Springfield,Sangamon County,Illinois, USA

Presidential First Lady. She was the wife of 16th US President Abraham Lincoln and was the First Lady from March 1861 until April 1865. Born the fourth of seven children into an affluent family, her father was a banker and the family owned slaves. At the age of six her mother died and her father remarried and had nine additional children. She attended Madame Mantelle's finishing school at an early age where she learned to speak French fluently and studied dance, drama, music, and social graces. By age 20, she was regarded as witty and gregarious, with a grasp of politics. In October 1839 she moved to Springfield, Illinois and lived with her oldest sister, Elizabeth Porter Edwards, who was married to Ninian W. Edwards, the son of a former Illinois governor, and he served as her guardian. She was popular among the gentry of Springfield, and though she was courted by the rising young lawyer and Democratic Party politician Stephen A. Douglas and others, she chose to marry Abraham Lincoln, a rising circuit lawyer, in November 1842. Her husband became famous for his position on slavery, which generated national support for him. During her White House years, she faced many personal difficulties generated by political divisions within the nation. Several of her half-brothers served in the Confederate Army and were killed in action, and one brother served the Confederacy as a surgeon. Her second son Eddie, had died of tuberculosis in 1850 and her third son William (Willie), died of typhoid fever in the White House in 1862. She had difficulty negotiating White House social responsibilities and rivalries, spoils-seeking solicitors, and baiting newspapers in a climate of high national intrigue in Civil War Washington. She refurbished the White House, which included extensive redecorating of all the public and private rooms as well as the purchase of new china, which led to extensive over expenditures. The president was very angry over the cost, even though Congress eventually passed two additional appropriations to cover these expenses. She suffered from severe headaches, described as migraines, throughout her adult life, as well as protracted depression. Her headaches became more frequent after she suffered a head injury in a carriage accident during her White House years. A history of mood swings, fierce temper, public outbursts throughout Lincoln's presidency, as well as excessive spending, has led some historians and psychologists to speculate that she possibly suffered from bipolar disorder. She often visited hospitals around Washington to give flowers and fruit to wounded soldiers and took the time to write letters for them to send to their loved ones. On occasion, she accompanied Lincoln on military visits to the field. On Friday, April 14, 1865, she sat with her husband watching the comic play "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre. The Civil War had just ended five days earlier with the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox, Virginia. During the performance, John Wilkes Booth sneaked into the booth where they were seated and shot her husband in the back of the head. She accompanied her mortally wounded husband across the street to the Petersen House, where he was taken to a back bedroom and laid crosswise on the bed there, where Lincoln's Cabinet was summoned. He died early the following morning and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton ordered her to leave the room as she was so overcome with grief. After his national funeral that took place at different locations across the country and internment in Springfield, Illinois, she returned to Illinois and lived in Chicago with her sons Robert and Thomas (Tad). In July 1870 the US Congress granted her an annual life pension in the amount of $3,000 for which she lobbied hard to obtain. At the time it was unprecedented for widows of presidents to receive a government pension, and she had alienated many congressmen, making it difficult for her to gain approval. The death of her son Thomas (Tad) in July 1871, brought on an overpowering grief and depression and her surviving son, Robert Lincoln, a rising young Chicago lawyer, was alarmed at his mother's increasingly erratic behavior. After nearly jumped out of a window to escape a non-existent fire, Robert determined that she should be institutionalized and in May 1875 he committed her to Bellevue Place, a private asylum in Batavia, Illinois. Three months after being committed, she devised her escape. She smuggled letters to her lawyer, James B. Bradwell, and his wife Myra Bradwell, who was not only her friend but a feminist lawyer and fellow spiritualist. She also wrote to the editor of the Chicago Times concerning her plight and soon, the public embarrassments that Robert had hoped to avoid were looming, and his character and motives were in question, as he controlled his mother's finances. She had a trial to determine if she was capable of being released. The director of Bellevue had assured the jury she would benefit from treatment at his facility. However, in the face of potentially damaging publicity, he declared her well enough to go to Springfield, Illinois to live with her sister Elizabeth as she desired and In 1876 she was declared competent to manage her own affairs. Following the court proceedings, she was so enraged that she attempted suicide. She went to the hotel pharmacist and ordered enough laudanum to kill herself, but he realized her intent and gave her a placebo instead. The committal proceedings had resulted in her being profoundly estranged from her son Robert, and they did not reconcile until shortly before her death. She spent the next four years traveling throughout Europe and took up residence in Pau, France. Her final years were marked by declining health. She suffered from severe cataracts that reduced her eyesight that may have contributed to her increasing susceptibility to falls. In 1879 she suffered spinal cord injuries in a fall from a stepladder. She returned to the US and during the early 1880s she was confined to the Springfield, Illinois residence of her sister Elizabeth. On July 16, 1882, she collapsed at her sister's home and lapsed into a coma and died there at the age of 63. She has been portrayed by several actresses in film, including Julie Harris in "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln," a 1976 television adaptation of the stage play, Mary Tyler Moore in the 1988 television mini-series "Lincoln" (1988), Sally Field in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" (2012), Penelope Ann Miller in "Saving Lincoln" (2012), and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (2012). Several biographies have been written about her as well, including Barbara Hambly's The Emancipator's Wife (2005) and Janis Cooke Newman's historical novel "Mary: Mrs. A. Lincoln" (2007).

Presidential Child. He was the third child and son of US President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. Named for Mary Lincoln's brother-in-law Dr. William Wallace, he and his younger brother Thomas (Tad) were rambunctious children during the time they lived in Springfield, Illinois, recorded by Abraham's law partner William Herndon for turning their law office upside down, pulling the books off the shelves, while their father appeared oblivious to their behavior. After Abraham Lincoln was elected US President in 1860, the family moved into the White House the following year and it became the children's new playground. In early 1862 he and Tad both became ill. The most likely cause of the illness was typhoid fever, which was usually contracted by consumption of fecally contaminated food or water. Tad managed to recover, but Willie's condition fluctuated from day to day. His condition worsened and he finally succumbed on February 20, 1862 at the age of 11. Both parents were deeply affected by his death. His father did not return to work for three weeks and Tad cried for nearly a month because they were very close. Mary became so distraught that Lincoln feared for her sanity. Dr. Charles Brown, who perfected of the technique of embalming, was called to the White House and prepared the remains. He lay in state in the Green Room which adjoins the East Room where a private service was conducted by the pastor of The Washington New York Avenue Presbyterian Church and he was interred at Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown, Washington DC. The Lincolns were so pleased by the preservation achieved by Dr. Brown that he was disinterred twice so that they could again view his remains. After Lincoln's assassination in 1865, his remains were exhumed and were placed on the Presidential funeral train with his father and interred in a temporary tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. In September 1871 when Lincoln's permanent tomb was finished at Oak Ridge Cemetery, he was placed alongside the remains of his father and his brothers Tad and Eddie. (bio by: William Bjornstad)

Thomas Lincoln III:
Presidential Child. He was the 4th and youngest son of the 16th US President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. He was nicknamed "Tad" by his father, who found him "as wriggly as a tadpole" when he was a baby. He was born with a form of cleft lip and palate that caused him speech problems throughout his life and it contributed to uneven teeth so that he had difficulty chewing his food and had to have his meals specially prepared. He had a lisp and delivered his words rapidly and unintelligibly. An impulsive, unrestrained, child he did not attend school and his many tutors in the White House usually quit in frustration. He had free run of the White House and would frequently interrupt meetings, collect animals, and charge visitors to see his father. In February 1863 he and older brother Willie came down with typhoid fever; Willie succumbed and he managed to recover. After his father's assassination in April 1865, his oldest brother Robert took him and his mother to live in Chicago, Illinois and he attended the Elizabeth Street School. In 1868 he and his mother left Chicago and lived in Europe for almost three years, in Germany and England. After returning to Chicago, he died at the age of 18 at the Clifton House Hotel. The cause of death has been referred to as tuberculosis, a pleuristic attack, pneumonia, of congestive heart failure. His remains were interred at the Lincoln Tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery with his father and two of his brothers. (bio by: William Bjornstad)

US Cabinet Member and Diplomat. He is best remembered as the first child of 16th US President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln and was the only one of the President's children to survive past the age of 18. After graduating from Phillips Exter Academy at Exter, New Hampshire in 1860, he attended Harvard University at Cambridge, Massachusetts from 1861 until 1865. In February 1865 he was commissioned as an assistant adjutant with the rank of captain and served in the last weeks of the American Civil War as part of General Ulysses S. Grant's immediate staff, a position which sharply minimized the likelihood that he would be involved in actual combat. He was present at Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Virginia on April 9, 1865 and two months later he resigned his commission. Following his father's assassination on April 14, 1865 he moved to Chicago, Illinois with his mother and youngest brother Tad where he completed his law studies at the Old University of Chicago law school (later absorbed by the Northwestern University School of Law) and was admitted to the bar in February 1867. In 1877 he turned down President Rutherford B. Hayes' offer to appoint him Assistant Secretary of State, but later accepted an appointment as President James Garfield's Secretary of War, serving from 1881 to 1885 under Presidents Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. In 1887 he assisted Oscar Dudley in establishing the Illinois Industrial Training School for Boys in Norwood Park, Illinois. In 1889 he was appointed the US minister to England (the Court of St. James) by President Benjamin Harrison, serving until 1893 during which time his young son, Abraham II "Jack", died from blood poisoning. After finishing his term, he returned to his law practice. In 1897 he became president of the Pullman Palace Car Company and in 1911 he became its chairman of the board until 1922. He died in his sleep at his home from a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 82. (bio by: William Bjornstad)
