DEATH OF MR.. LINcoLN's STEP.
MoTHER.-The Decatur Magnet has a
little sketch of Mrs. Sallic Elizabeth
Lincoln, (widow of the late Thomas
Lincoln and step.mother to our mar
tyred and lamented President who
died in Coles county ILL.,, on the 10Th
ult,, ut an advanced age. President
Lincoln, it will be remembered, was
principally reared by this lady-his
own mother having died when he
was quite young:
Mrs. Lincoln had for many years
resided with her grandson, John
Hall, Esq, wcll-to-do farmer, who
lives about nine miles southeast OF
Charleston, Coles county, near the
lines between that and Cumberland.
and Alison the country village of
Pennington. She led an humble,
Christian life, and was greatly es-
tccnee by her friends and ncishbors,
for her kindness of heart and many
Christian virtues. She was much
devoted to her illustrious step-son,
and took as deep an interest in his
rise and fame and fortune as his own
mother could have done. 1t is said
that she never spoke of him since
his tragic death; without tears, and
the nation. or the world had no moro
sincere mourner over his fall than
She. Mrs. Lincoln WAS buried by
the side of tho neglected grave OF her
husband, in deserted country barry
ing ground secluded from the haunts
OF men, by deep. tangled, wild
wood. '-Dav. Gazette.
