Who is Edward Lincoln?

Edward Lincoln, often referred to as "Eddie," was the second son of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. Born on March 10, 1850, he was known for his frail health and was often overshadowed by his older brother, Robert, and younger brother, Tad. Edward tragically died at a young age, at four years old, in 1850, likely from pneumonia. His death profoundly affected the Lincoln family and contributed to the family's ongoing struggles with grief.
