2. Mary Lincoln Died Alone In The Same House She Married Abraham and Penniless
Mary Todd Lincoln died from a stroke on July 16, 1882. She had suffered the stroke suddenly the previous day as she collapsed and fell into a coma. This was about 11 years after her youngest son had died and 40 years after she married her husband in the same house.
While Mary did not live alone at the time of her death as she lived with her sister, Elizabeth, who supported Mary as she was penniless. Over her last years, Mary became estranged from her only surviving son, Robert. She never got over the fact that he committed her.
