1885 To Arthur From Grandpa L. - Illinois Arthur Shelley Lincoln was born on 21 April 1884, in Jackson, Montgomery, Iowa. His parents were Franklin Charles Lincoln and Marrietta/Etta Thama Keiser. The family lived in Jackson Iowa until 1900 when the US Federal census shows that they were in Stillwater, Payne Oklahoma.I believe that Arthur at some point, contracted Tuberculosis and was sent to Central California for his health. He died in Salinas, Monterey County, California on 10 November 1905. I do not know if his family was at his bedside. He was buried in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma on 13 November 1905.
I have no pictures that I know of, of Arthur.
