Talk:Abraham Lincoln II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The grandson of President Abraham Lincoln and son of Robert Todd and Mary Harlan Lincoln. (1873-1890). The only son of Robert died at age 16 in Paris, France, following surgery when infection set in and he was unable to recover. His nickname was "Jack."
He was originally buried in the Lincoln family plot in Springfield, Illinois, was but reinterred years later in his father's plot in Arlington National Cemetery.
For years his name did not appear in the Arlington site but, through the efforts of a Catholic Priest in Baltimore and with the assistance of US Senator Paul S. Sarbanes, his name was added to his father's memorial in 1976.
