William
Carroll. This is the tomb Abe Lincoln had his son, Willie placed in after
the boys untimely death to typhoid. The Carroll's were family friends in
D.C. The story goes is that Lincoln would travel to the tomb to go inside
and sit with his boy. I believe he had the coffin open to talk and comfort
his favorite child |
