Mary Todd Lincoln, born in 1818, married the 16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln.  She was the first lady during very difficult times in this country’s history.  Born to an affluent family who sent her to finishing school, she learned all the best social graces a young woman should.  After marrying Abraham Lincoln in 1842 they settled down where Mary supervised a growing household.  As ordinary as that may sound, Mary had a tragic life.  Sadly, Mary lost three of her four children to illness and her husband to an assassination.  Mary passed away in 1882 after many illnesses and certain heart break.
