Mary Todd Lincoln
Mary Todd (December 13, 1818 – July 16, 1882) was carefully educated in Lexington. When twenty-one years of age she went to Springfield to visit her sister, who had married Ninian W. Edwards, a son of Ninian Edwards, governor of the state. Mary was courted by Stephen Douglas, but there she became engaged to Mr. Lincoln, whom she married, 4 Nov., 1842. She and Lincoln had four sons together, only one of whom outlived her. Their home of about fifteen years still stands in Springfield.
Her family was divided by the civil war "several of them were killed in battle" and, devoted as Mrs. Lincoln was to her husband and the National cause, this division among her nearest kindred caused her much suffering. The death of her son, William Wallace, in 1862, was an enduring sorrow to her. One of her principal occupations was visiting the hospitals and camps of the soldiers about Washington. She never recovered from the shock of seeing her husband shot down before her eyes her youngest son, Thomas, died a few years later, and her reason suffered from these repeated blows. She lived in strict retirement during her later years, spending part of her time with her son in Chicago, a part in Europe, and the rest with her sister, Mrs. Edwards, in Springfield, where she died of paralysis.
