Wm LAM 8mrv|vlng Child of OKrH War Preaideat Manchester, Vt, July 20.?Robert T. Lincoln, only surviving, son of President Abraham Lincoln, was found dead in bed at his summer home here today, His death was discovered by servants who went to call him. Mr. Lincoln, who had served as secretary of war, minister to Great Britain and for years as president of the Pullman company, of late had been in feeble health. He would have been 88 years old on August I. One of his two daughters, Mrs. Charles Isham, of New York, was at her summer home here. Two of his three grandchildren, Mary Beckwith and James Beckwith, the children of his other daughter, Mrs. F. E. Johnson of Washington, came to Hilden a few days Ago. He is survived also by his widow and a third grandchild, Lincoln Isham, of New York City. Fate and circumstances so united that Robert Todd Lincoln, last of the great emancipator's immediate family to bear the name, was present at the assassination of two American presidents and within sound of the shota that mortally wounded ? third. When young Lincoln was graduated from Harvard in 1804, hip: fatheV granted his request to enter the army. As a captain and member of General Grant's staff, he witnessed the fall of Petersburg and the surrender of General Lee at Appomatox. Hurrying to Washington, the captain arrived there on April 14 and save his father the first definite news of the surrender. On the evening of the same day, he was in Ford's theatre when John Wilkes Booth shot and fatally wounded the president. Later in life, Lincoln, although adverse to holding piiblic office, became secretary of war in President Garfield's cabinet. He was supposed to accompany the chief executive on a trip to the New England states, July 2, 1881, but a last minute development prevented. He went to the station to explain, arriving just as Guiteau shot Garfield. "1 Lincoln was among the many prominent men invited to. the Buffalo exposition in 1901/and was nearby^ September 6, when I.eon Czolosz, an anarchist fired twice at President ^ illiam McKinley from close range, one of the bullets causing the cxecutive's death eight days later. After this, Lincoln avoided public association with presidents and once, when a friend asked if he would attend a presidential function, he re-' plied: j "No, I'm not going and they'd bet-1 tor not invite he, because there is a j certain fatality about presidential functions when I am present." Robert was Abraham Lincoln's first j child, born August 1, 1843 in Spring[ field, III. He not only was the eldest! I of five children, but he outlived them all. Before attending Harvard, he| was a student in the University ofj Illinois and Phillips Academy, Exeter, ??1 I)r. Gardner Passes Dr. George W.
