I just read a 2006 article online that wanted to insert once again the theory that both Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln suffered from syphilis. However, the article stated that an autopsy was performed on Mary Lincoln and a brain tumor was found. Did I miss something along the way?

There was never an autopsy performed on Mary Lincoln. I would love to find the orginial source for the rumor about the tumor.
