Author Description

Excerpt from A Memorial of William Sever Lincoln, Colonel 34th Mass. Infantry, and Brevet Brig.-Gen. U. S. Volunteers, 1811-1889 Gen. William S. Lincoln died at his home, Willow Farm, this city, last evening, after a nearly two weeks' illness, caused by that dread disease, angina pectoris, from which he had been subject to repeated attacks for the past ten years of his life. In more than one of these several illnesses his life has been despaired of, but his strong constitution, determined will and wonderful rallying power brought him safely out of them all. But his relentless malady again attacked him on Sunday, Octo ber 27, and this time it won the victory over the brave hero, who had on many a field of strife and carnage faced death and escaped its shafts.
