Lot Description
[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. 8 CDVs of Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, IL, ft. Lincoln's tomb and receiving vault.
8 CDVs, including: 5 views of the receiving vault at Oak Ridge Cemetery, most featuring armed guards standing watch. Backmarks include that of F. W. Ingmire, Springfield, IL, J. Carbutt, Chicago, IL, and Capitol Gallery (C. H. Hall), Springfield, IL. -- 2 views of the entrance gate to the cemetery, both featuring armed soldiers. Backmarks include Capitol Gallery (C. H.

The hillside vault, known as the "temporary tomb," housed the remains of Lincoln and his two sons that preceded him in death (William Wallace Lincoln and Edward Baker Lincoln) from December 1865 until 19 September 1871. It was constructed halfway up the hill between the Oak Ridge Public Receiving Vault, where Lincoln's remains were first brought on 4 May 1865 and remained until 21 December, and the present-day monument at Lincoln's final resting place. It was dismantled in 1871.
