Lincoln's autocrat

[Gene C]

I'm curious for those of you who have this book, does Marvel record this incident and what does he have to say about it?

From a post in Trivia Questions - "Who is this Lady" - post #262, by Roger Norton.

"This was Edwin Stanton's first wife. Regarding her death, author Burton Hendrick writes, "When Mary Lamson died, in 1844, Stanton's morbidity again aroused fears for his sanity. This was the wife with whom he had spent his early days of struggle; that the end should have come when prosperity had arrived, when Stanton had just crowned his success by taking for his home the finest house in Steubenville, seemed to make the tragedy complete. The bereaved husband sent for a dressmaker and ordered her to produce a perfect duplicate of Mary's wedding gown. "She is my bride," he moaned, "and shall be dressed and buried like a bride." The Supreme Court had to suspend sessions for a month, for Stanton, whose name appeared on every calendar, would not leave his dead wife's grave. Every night he would put her nightcap and gown on her bed, and sit beside them weeping for hours."
