When her husband, Abraham Lincoln, was first elected to Congress in 1847, Mary worked tirelessly to help him advance his career, which ultimately led him to the Presidency of the United States. She continued to support him while dealing with many struggles of her own, including debilitating migraines that she suffered from throughout her adulthood. She would eventually succumb to severe depression after living through the untimely death of three sons and the assassination of her husband - but her kindness and compassion never wavered up until she died peacefully in 1882.
