The Man Who Knew Lincoln and Davis and Saved Orphans of Both
Dr. Thomas Cox Teasdale knew LINCOLN personally from his early days of pastoring in Springfield, Illinois, where Lincoln had his law practice and Davis from the time Teasdale pastored a church in Washington D.C.. Teasdale got the signatures of both presidents on the same document to sell cotton to fund the orphanages of both sides. He was a pastor of the First Baptist Church of Columbus in 1891. The Weeping Angel watches over the Teasdale plot in Friendship Cemetery Columbus Mississippi.
