	Mary Todd Lincoln Summary
		Mary Todd was a proud member of a wealthy Kentucky family whose members on both her paternal and maternal sides had fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
		Mary Lincoln also assisted her husband by graciously entertaining prominent Illinois politicians, and she was especially well known for her strawberry parties, to which she invited the elite of Springfield.
		The death of Mary Lincoln's son Willie in the White House in 1862 from typhoid fever, followed by her husband's assassination in April 1865 (as the Civil War was ending) made Mary a part of the tragedies that other Americans experienced.

	Mary Todd Lincoln, Waukesha County Genealogy (GenWeb)
		Lincoln chose a quiet cottage in Waukesha in the summer of 1870, it was to drink the healing spring waters and recover her strength which had been failing ever since the assassination of her husband.

	Historical Controversies
		Mary was also high-strung, hot-tempered, and (in contrast to her husband) not especially sold on the concept of honesty in all situations.
		Lincoln endured the death of her second son Eddie in 1850 (at age three), her third and favorite boy Willie in 1862 (at age eleven), the murder of her husband by her side, and the death of her youngest child Tad in 1871, at the age of seventeen.
		Lincoln’s biographer and law partner William Herndon, who did not like Mary Todd Lincoln, built upon these shreds of historical evidence to popularize the story that Ann and not Mary was Lincoln’s first and true love.

	Profile: Mary Todd Lincoln - Jackson Civil War Muster
		She tried to commit suicide shortly after Lincoln's death, only to be stopped by a druggist who recognized what she was thinking of doing.
		After Mary was found to be a "lunatic" and committed to the care of the asylum, I am sure that all the medications she had been taking were stopped and a new regimen set up.
		In my opinion Mary was not insane but more a victim of a medical community that did not yet understand the workings and diseases of the body or the interactions of medicines.
