Kennedy from his election to the United States Senate in 1953 until his 1963 assassination in Dallas. Mrs. Lincoln, who was in the motorcade when Kennedy was assassinated, made it a point to visit Kennedy's grave at Arlington National Cemetery every year afterward on the anniversary of his death. == Personal == She was born Evelyn Maurine Norton on a farm in Polk County, Nebraska. Her father was John N. Norton, a member of the United States House of Representatives. Evelyn married Harold W. Lincoln in 1930, and moved to Chevy Chase, Maryland. In 1968 she wrote a book, ''Kennedy and Johnson'' in which she wrote that President Kennedy had told her that Lyndon B. Johnson would be replaced as Vice President of the United States.

Her cremated remains were inurned in a niche at a columbarium in Arlington National Cemetery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evelyn Lincoln」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
