Mary Todd Lincoln

Hello Everyone,


Today we will talk about Mary Todd Lincoln. Mary was born on December 13th 1818 and died on July 16th 1882. She married Abraham (Abe) Lincoln. Her children were Robert Todd Lincoln, Edward Lincoln, Willie Lincoln and Tad Lincoln. Unfortunately only one of those children lived to adult life. Robert Todd Lincoln lived to be 82 years old and was the 35th Secretary of War and the United States ambassador of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately Edward Lincoln only lived to the age of 3 because he had tuberculosis. Unfortunately Willie Lincoln only lived to age 11 because he had typhoid fever very badly. Tad Lincoln lived to be a little bit older but unfortunately he only lived to be 18 from tuberculosis. So what happened to Edward, Willie and Tad were extremely sad and I am sure that to lose 3 kids so young was extremely difficult for there family to go through.
