Mary Lincoln orders a headstone?
I have a subscription to NewspaperArchive.com for six months as I'm trying to do some more research on Tarbell's non-Lincoln life. One reason I subscribed is because they have papers from Oil City and Pithole, towns where Ida and family either lived or worked. In looking over the Pithole City Daily Recorder I noticed the following:
![[Image: c8lYh924_t.jpg]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/8f/06/c8lYh924_t.jpg) It came from the November 30, 1865 edition of the paper. While I don't claim to have complete knowledge of Mary, I don't think I've ever heard of this stone before. Has anyone else? If she did order this, it's obvious that it never marked a grave of Lincoln, nor do I ever remember it being talked about after Mary's death. Anyone have any ideas? Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
