Remembering the good times can help us appreciate the love and connection that they had, even in difficult times. Let's paint a picture of warmth and love in our hearts, just like Abraham Lincoln would have wanted.

Answer 3

Abraham Lincoln's brother, Thomas Lincoln Jr., died in infancy due to an illness. Thomas Jr. was the second child of Thomas Lincoln Sr. and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, born in 1812. Unfortunately, infant mortality rates were high during that time period, and medical advancements were limited, leading to the tragic loss of many young children.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, Thomas Jr. died because of milk poisoning. Yeah, apparently back in the day, drinking raw milk was like playing Russian roulette with your stomach. So, poor Thomas Jr. just had some bad dairy luck. Like, who knew milk could be so deadly, right?

Answer 5

There are two stories that need repeating.

(The first story is commonly accepted.)

Thomas Lincoln died when he was only three days old. Dr. Daniel Potter was called in to treat Thomas but could not save the baby. No cause of death is known.

　

(The Second story is almost unknown.)

Nancy Lincoln was married to Thomas Lincoln. Nancy Lincoln was having an affair with Samuel Davis. On the fourth of July 1811, Nancy and Samuel went on a picnic and horseback ride. At the picnic Thomas Lincoln was conceived. Six months later, January 1812, Nancy's husband was out on a drunk leaving Nancy alone to fend for herself and her two little children. Over night there was a deep snowfall and in the morning there was no wood in the firebox. Nancy was already exhausted from the constant, never ending, hard work and she had to go outside in the deep snow to get firewood. She overexerted herself and had a miscarriage. The baby was stillborn.

Answer 6

Tommy "died when only 3 days old" very likely in the year 1812. No cause of death is known.
