Summary
This is a pamphlet which tells the story of Matilda Edwards Strong who is buried in Reading PA, where she lived with her husband. Earlier in her life she lived in the midwest as a guest in the home of the wealthy Edwards family in Springfield, Illinois. Mary Todd, Abraham Lincoln's future wife, was also a relative of that family and was visiting there at the same time. Lincoln and Todd became very close, but it was rumored that Lincoln for a period was drawn toward Matilda. This is the basis of the story connecting Lincoln to Reading.
