THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
In Memoriam
Sorrow swept through the land. North and South alike mourned the loss that was theirs.
The funeral service was held in the East Room of the White House.
Lincoln was buried in Springfield, Ill.
We of this later day who read of the lofty aims, the noble thoughts, the unselfish purposes of Abraham Lincoln can let his life inscribe in our thoughts those words of Longfellow:
"Lives of great men, all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time."
