Thomas "Tad" Lincoln (April 4, 1853 - July 15, 1871) was the fourth and youngest son of Abraham and Mary Lincoln. He lived with his mother after his father was assassinated. He died abruptly at the age of 18 on July 15, 1871, presumably of tuberculosis.

Tad Lincoln in Southern Victory

Tad Lincoln (1853-c.1863) died shortly after the War of Secession. The dual loss was nearly unbearable for his father. Even during the Second Mexican War, the wound was still raw for Abraham Lincoln.[1]
