Mary Todd Lincoln suffered 4 great and tragic losses in her life:

> The death of her mother when she was about 7.

> The death of her 3 year old son, Edward in 1850.

> The death of her second son, Willie of typhoid fever, in 1862.

> The shooting and subsequent death of her husband, the President in April, 1865.

After witnessing the shooting of her husband, her emotions and sanity were shattered. She was institutionalized for a time but later released to the care of her remaining son, Tad. She traveled to Europe a couple of times, but never recovered completely.

Mrs. Lincoln died in 1882 and is buried in Springfield, IL.
