For perspective on aging 100 years ago…in this photo, Robert Lincoln is about the same age that Dolly Parton, Steve Martin, Henry Winkler, Cher, Eugene Levy, Diane Keaton, and Brian Cox are now.
He’s a few years younger than Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Mick Jagger, and a few years older than Stevie Nicks, Lionel Richie, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen.
Robert was one of Abraham and Mary’s four children. He was the only one of the four to live past age 18, and he was the only one of the four to outlive his parents.
