October 5, 1818
In 1817 Nancy Hanks Lincoln bought six milk cows to provide milk for her family and Thomas and Elizabeth Sparrow. Thomas and Elizabeth raised Nancy as a child and they followed the Lincolns to Indiana and built a cabin 10 feet away from the Lincolns. Sometimes the Lincolns would let the cows out of their inclosure to free range. In the fall of 1818 the land was dry and the cows had to venture further to graze. The cows ate poisonous white snake-root which poisoned the milk. Thomas and Elizabeth came down with the "milk sick" first, then Nancy. All three were dead in a week. Nancy Lincoln died milk sickness on October 5, 1818.
