Extra Credit Questions

Excellent, Steve. Little Tommy's gravesite was discovered in 1933 by workers in the Works Progress Administration. A temporary marker was placed on the site. Little Tommy's grave is located on private land. Dennis Hanks said that Tommy "did not live 3 days." Augustus H. Chapman, a Lincoln family relative by marriage, said Tommy "died when only 3 days old."

Several years ago a gentleman named Otis Wayne Miller sent me this photo:

The stone has the initials T.L. carved into it, and it is felt these initials were carved by Tommy's father, Thomas Lincoln.
