Mary Todd Lincoln was born into a wealthy family on December 13, 1818. Her father, Robert Smith Todd, was a storeowner（商店主）and Whig（辉格党）politician（政治家）. Her mother, Eliza Parker Todd, died when she was six. Seventeen months later her father married Elizabeth Humphreys of Frankfort, Kentucky.
As a young child, Mary was sent to a private（私人的）school and was well educated. At twenty-one she moved to Springfield, Illinois, to live with her sister, Elizabeth Edwards. There she met and a few years later married Abraham Lincoln, the 16th US President, who was then a lawyer. She lived happily in Springfield and supported（支持）Lincoln strongly during the election（选举）of president in 1860.
Mary and Lincoln had four children. Their first son, Robert Todd Lincoln, who was born at the Globe Tavern on August 1st, 1843, one year after the marriage, died in 1926. Their second son, Edward Baker Lincoln, who was also born in the Lincoln home in 1846, died at the age of 3 years and 11 months. Their third son, William Wallace Lincoln, was also born in the Lincoln home and died in 1862. Their fourth son, Thomas Tad Lincoln, who was also born in the Lincoln home in 1853 died in 1871 at the age of 18.
In April 1865, her husband Lincoln was shot at her side. As a result, her later life was extremely unhappy. The next 17 years held nothing but sorrow（悲痛）for her. After Tad's death in 1871, she slipped into a world of illusion（幻觉）where poverty（贫穷） and murder pursued（追杀）her. In 1875, her son, Robert Todd Lincoln, sent her to a sanitarium（疗养院）where she became sane（神志正常的）after less than a year.
In 1882 she passed away at her sister's home in Springfield--the same house from which she had walked as the bride（新娘）of Abraham Lincoln, 40 years before.
