L. Blanche Lincoln
L. Blanche Lincoln (1859-1929) was born in Round Grove, Illinois, and

of Mary Baker Eddy's, stayed in the Lincoln family home in Fort Dodge and gave Blanche
Christian Science treatment. Born an invalid, Blanche experienced such improvement under
Philbrick's treatment that she and several of her family members began studying
Christian Science. Blanche Lincoln joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in

became members as well, and her sister Elsie A. Lincoln served as the church's soloist
