Following information from a relative:
Uncle Lincoln was killed on Guadalcanal -- not in the Philippines. His body was never returned to the US -- the "grave" in Hampton Falls cemetery next to the Baptist Church is a cenotaph.
My mother was Charlotte Akerman Eaton. I remember Uncle Lincoln very well -- especially his wedding to Aunt Pat in the Congregational Church in Hampton -- and also, of course, the day the news of his death came to us.
