| Shared note | "Mr. Mearns says in his introduction to 'The Lincoln Papers': '. . . it seems certain that Robert Lincoln did actually destroy some Lincoln letters, for the family tells how his granddaughter, Mary Lincoln Beckwith, once watched him as he threw some on the grate.' (Lincoln's Sons, p. 322). She and her brother were "practically raised at Hildene." (p. 287, Robert Todd Lincoln: A Man In His Own Right) He [Robert Todd Lincoln] wrote [to his Aunt Emilie Todd Helm & her daughter Katherine] appealingly of his granddaughter Mary with her hair 'flying in the sun,' calling her by her nickname 'Peggy' and adding fondly, 'she is a great pet whatever she does.' (Lincoln's Sons, p. 330-331) From The New Yorker, "Last of the Lincolns," by Michael R. Beschloss, Feb. 28, 1994: "Peggy Beckwith grew up in Washington, D.C., and became a squat, fair-haired, blue-eyed chain smoker who golfed and dabbled in oil painting and sculpture." Dallas Morning News obituary, 7/12/1975 gives her name as "Miss Mary Todd Lincoln Beckwith". She requested in her will that her ashes be spread over her estate. At her request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. |
