Mrs. Henrietta Frances Lincoln, aged 81, widow of H. Preston Lincoln, and a well known resident of Lacey Spring, died yesterday morning at 11:45 at her home at Lacey Spring, following an illness off nearly five weeks.
Mrs. Lincoln, who was a daughter of the late William C. and Adaline Cave Grandle, was born on April 27, 1857, at Lacey Spring where she spent her entire life. Some of her earliest recollections had to do with the battle of Lacey Spring, Dec. 21, 1864, when Rosser made a surprise attack upon Custer's camp between midnight and dawn. The Grandle home was in the midst of the battlefield. She could vividly recall many other incidents of the War Between the States.

The latter was a son of Jacob Nicholas Lincoln and a grandson of David Lincoln, who was the first of his name to locate in the Lacey Spring neighborhood. David was the eldest son of Captain Jacob Lincoln, of Linville Creek, and for some years kept a wayside tavern at Lacey Spring, known as Lincoln Inn. He carried on correspondence with Abraham Lincoln when the latter was in Congress concerning the family relationship. David and Thomas, the President's father, were first cousins.
Mrs. Lincoln was the eldest of seven children and also the mother of seven children, four of whom survive. They are: E. E. Lincoln, of Harrisonburg; Mrs. Harry Coffelt, of Dayton; W. W. Lincoln, of Luray, and Miss Eunice Lincoln, of Washington.

Two children — E. Return Lincoln, of Harrisonburg, and Mrs. Edwin Rankin, of Jersey City — preceded her in death.
Mrs. Lincoln was a faithful member of the Methodist Church and took an active part. in Church work. Despite her advance age, until her final illness, she enjoyed good health.
Funeral services will be held Sunday at 11 a. m. from the Lacey Spring Methodist Church. Services will be conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. A. Lynch. Burial will be in a nearby cemetery where many of the Lincolns and other relatives are buried.
The cemetery is on the battlefield of 1864 and only a short distance from Mrs. Lincoln's birthplace and childhood home.
