On February 1, 1850, Edward Baker "Eddy" Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln, passed away one month before his fourth birthday. The cause of death was described at the time as "chronic consumption" or tuberculosis. The boy's father and two brothers had signs of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia. One hundred percent of people with this genetic cancer syndrome develop medullary thyroid cancer, even as infants. It has been suggested that the child died of this disorder. Following the death of Abraham Lincoln, the boy's remains were moved to his father's tomb from Hutchinson's Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois, to Oak Ridge Cemetery, also in Springfield.
