Edward Baker Lincoln (Eddie), born in 1846, died February 1, 1850, probably of tuberculosis. Lincoln's third son, 'Willie' Lincoln was born on December 21, 1850, and died of fever at the White House on February 20, 1862. The youngest, Thomas 'Tad' Lincoln, was born on April 4, 1853, and survived his father but died of heart failure at age 18 on July 16, 1871. Lincoln 'was remarkably fond of children,' and the Lincolns were not considered to be strict with their own.
