Things were never quite the same again for him. He continued his adventures, but he was the boy alone in the great mansion and drew closer and closer to his father. One day the family was getting settled in their carriage to go to the Soldiers' Home when Tad was heard loudly saying: I have not got my cat. The President of the United States replied: Then you shall have your cat, and a search was launched. A turkey intended for Thanksgiving dinner instead became another fam ily pet. When his father was murdered, Tad noted that there were six members of the family, three in Heaven and three on Earth. It was Tad who shared his mother's mourning period and wander ings in Europe. He grew up to speak with a slight German accent owing to his years of schooling there. Just as he was about to start a life of his own, and his brother Robert said he was a very promis ing young man, he died in Chicago in 1871. He had caught cold on a return ocean voyage and it turned into pneumonia. Thomas Lincoln was per haps the most unfortunate one in the tragedy-rid den family.
