Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri FRIDAY, 6 MAY 1870 PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S WIDOW - Mrs. LINCOLN, has, after four or five years of disgraceful, humiliating, and persistent begging, succeeded in getting her name on the national pension-roll, and hereafter she will receive three thousand dollars annually, as a testimonial of respect by the nation to the memory of the husband she has so disgracefully dishonored. This unfortunate woman is evidently in want of more brains. she is incompetent to take proper care of her "body corporate," in our opinion, and should be placed in a lunatic asylum, forthwith. The American people will long remember the outrageous farce she made of selling her wardrobe and jewelry "for the necessaries of life." The shrew over did the mark at the time. Congress was unusually stubborn at the time, as also very busy, engaged in the memorable conflict with A.J., and the nation's poor widow was left uncared for and penniless, so much so that she had to repair to the Rhine, to recruit her health, from whence she had accounts sent back of her fast-failing body and probable early demise; the letters also being interspersed with various little touches of romance--such as reports that some a Dutch Baron had taken pity on the great woman, and was to take her to his heart and home, which Heaven grant that he would do, and let America be free of this walking farce.
