In her honor, I want to share this article about something that was important to her.

This is more about fashion, but it can give us a little more insight into her personality by what she wore. A common phrase is "clothes make the man". This is also true for women.
Mary Lincoln certainly believed this to be true.

According to Google AI Overview (artificial Intelligence)
"Clothes make the man" is an idiom meaning your attire significantly influences how others perceive your status, character, and competence, affecting first impressions and social interactions, though it also reflects deeper psychological ideas about how clothing shapes self-perception and behavior (enclothed cognition). While classic proverbs like this (with roots in Latin/Greek) highlight clothing's power, modern views emphasize that while appearance matters, actions define true character.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Lincoln.

I found the section about Mary's life after the White House the most interesting, such as
"10 days after Tad's death, Robert left for the Rocky Mountains, where he remained in seclusion for a month. The locale was a favored place for men who were suffering from "nervous" disorders. Robert would later express that he'd been "all used up" after his brother's death.

and "Soon, Mary was no longer welcome in Robert's house—it may have been because she learned of her daughter-in-law's struggle with alcoholism.

There is also a very nice colorized photo of Mrs Lincoln]]>

Lincoln, of course, was traumatized by Willie's death, but he quickly returned his attention to the War and his duties as president. It is all speculation, obviously, but I wonder if Lincoln would have been like Coolidge if he was not facing an existential national crisis and whether Coolidge would have been more like Lincoln if he had not presided over, at least superficially, a "dormant" period.

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?

After John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln on April 14, 1865, at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., and his passing on Saturday, April 15, 1865, Mary Lincoln departed Washington by train to Chicago with her son Thomas 'Tad.' They moved into the Tremont House [Hotel].

Later, Mary, Robert, and Tad moved into the Hyde Park Hotel. Robert Todd Lincoln moved into his own residence by the end of 1865 at 653 South Wabash Avenue (today's address on the 1200 block of South Wabash Avenue), Chicago.

In 1866 Mary purchased a home for $17,000 ($300,700 today) at 375 West Washington Boulevard (today's address is 1238 West Washington Boulevard) in Chicago, located between Willard Court (Ann Street) and Elizabeth Street.

In May of 1867, Mary rented out her house and they moved into the Clifton House Hotel at the southeast corner of Wabash and Madison.

Later that year, they moved back to her old neighborhood and lived at 460 West Washington (today's address is 1407 West Washington Boulevard), across the street from Union Park at Ogden Avenue.

Again in 1868, Mary and Tad moved back to the Clifton House Hotel.

Mary Lincoln and Tad, then 15 years old, took a trip to Europe departing Baltimore aboard the steamer "City of Baltimore" on October 1, 1868. The ship arrived at Southampton, England on October 15th. Two weeks later Mary and Tad arrived in Bremen, Germany, and from there they traveled to Frankfurt. Mother and son lived in the Hotel d'Angleterre (five-star accommodations) which was located in the center of the town.

Institute. For a time Mary moved to Nice, but she returned to Frankfurt. This time she avoided the expensive Hotel d'Angleterre and stayed in the more modest Hotel de Holland and was more frugal in her spending habits.

In the summer of 1869, Mary and Tad spent seven weeks touring Scotland during Tad's vacation from Dr. Hohagen's school. They traveled from one end of Scotland to the other, exploring Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the Highlands near Balmoral.

They returned to the United States in May of 1871. The return trip, from Liverpool to New York, was made aboard the "Russia," which held the transatlantic record of 8 days and 25 minutes for the Liverpool to New York run, but Mary's trip took a couple of days longer because of poor weather.

On May 11th Mary and Tad arrived in port, and on May 15th they left for Chicago. It seems Tad had caught a cold during the ocean voyage and was not well when he arrived in Chicago. By late May Tad developed difficulty in breathing when lying down and had to sleep sitting up in a chair. By early June he was dangerously ill. He then rallied for a short time. As July approached he weakened again. Tad's pain and agony worsened as his face grew thinner. On Saturday morning, July 15, 1871, Tad passed away at the age of 18. The cause of death was most likely tuberculosis.

Tad's death occurred in the Clifton House Hotel in Chicago. Thomas Lincoln was buried at the Lincoln Monument in Oak Ridge Cemetery at 1500 Monument Avenue in Springfield, Illinois.

Mary was staying at Robert's house on Wabash Avenue after Tad's death when on October 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire started behind the O'Leary house at 137 DeKoven Street (today's address is 558 West DeKoven Street) in their barn. Believe it or not, the O'Leary house escaped the fire, untouched, and below is the photograph to prove it.[/font]

[Image: OLeary_House_After_the_Fire.jpg]

Southeastern view of the O'Leary house. In the center of the block stands a small one-story tenement. On every side are ashes and cinders. Not a house or shed remains west, south or north of it, and a half a dozen ash piles tell the passer-by where houses on the east of the solitary shanty stood. It is a past explanation that all the rest burnt and that's all that remained.

Robert's house was just one block south and two blocks east of the burnt area. Robert and Mary were home when the fire started. Robert quickly ran out to try to get to his law office located at 154 Lake Street in the Marine Bank Building on the northeast corner of Lake and LaSalle, to save what he could. But when he managed to get there, the building was already burnt to the ground. Lost forever was some of his father's letters and other keepsakes.

Because of the thick, choking smoke, neighbors panicked and rushed to Lake Michigan, a couple of blocks to the east, to avoid the thick, choking smoke. It's unclear if Mary stayed in Robert's house or if she went with neighbors to the lakefront. Both Mary and Robert survived as did Robert's house, unscathed.

In 1874 Mary was living at the new Grand Central Hotel on LaSalle, Street. On April 6, 1874, she sold her old house on Washington Street.

Just 10 years after Lincoln's assassination, his widow, Mary, was charged with insanity and put on trial in Chicago. The accuser was her only surviving son, Robert Lincoln. The trial was held on May 19, 1875, and she had received no prior warning or chance to organize a defense. The jury deliberated for only 10 minutes, then she was institutionalized at Bellevue Place Asylum in Batavia, Illinois. Mary was released in less than 4 months but mother and son never reconciled.]]> Mary Todd and Robert Lincoln - In the Midst of the Great Chicago Fire, 1871.

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been slowly organizing my Mary Lincoln research. I recently created a blog, where I posted a two-part article I wrote for the Manuscripts Society's quarterly journal, which isn't available online. It digs into, among other things, the Henry Wikoff issue, which I believe has been totally misrepresented. A lot of this stuff is too detailed to appeal to anyone but those *really* into Mary Lincoln, and this is one of the best places to find them! If you have any interest, please check it out.

She had just returned from Ohio, and said that Mrs. Lincoln was living there in a town called Poe.

There is a small town in Ohio named Poe, but I have never heard of Mrs. Lincoln living there and am not sure why she would be. Has anyone else heard of this?

For me, if any of domestic abuse (apparently a few times physical and more on the emotional level) from Mary towards Abraham, it might well have to be attached with her vulnerable mental condition (angst, depression..)
Because true, plainly willing-to-hurt abusive husbands/wives do it behind closed doors. They hide their violence in public and play the "perfect couple" cards among friends, family, and colleagues. It's always the same scheme with willing abusers who want to dominate and destroy. If as alleged, Mary did really striked Abe with objects in the presence of guests and such, I'll bet more to put the blame on her mental state than portraying her as the "evil in dress" she's been so much called on too. That said, we'll never know what happened, and I'm not an apologist of any domestic violence. But in her case, there's some ground of "minoring circumstances". Anyway, it ever happened, it's certainly it would have been a source of emotional pain for everyone.
Yes adding to Herndon there were statements from the Springfield neighborhood. But again, those people recalled "hysteria episodes" from Mary. So I do believe, even at the time, where psychology was basically an unexplored world, people felt it was "special case".
