Today's Useless Trivia:
After Lincoln's assassination, Mary Todd, his wife, was hysterical for months and finally her son Robert asked for a hearing to determine her sanity. In 1875, she was formally committed to an institution for the insane. She was released after 4 months, and died in 1882 at the age of 63. Only one of Lincoln's 4 sons survived adolescence: Robert Todd Lincoln, who served as Secretary of War under President Garfield.

So odd, it seems as if his expression has been altered during the grooming process!...?
What a picture! lol. It's ashame that Lincoln doesn't have any descendants. It would be awesome to see a History channel special interviewing the descendants of famous political icons.
