I found this article on the Abraham Lincoln online site and thought it worth sharing.

The link tells the whole story, but, basically, her burial site has been found, but funds are needed to help provide for a headstone and care for the site.
If anyone has any extra funds during this holiday season, this certainly seems like a good way to help support an important historical project.
