This weird little blurb showed up in Library Journal’s People section:
“Varina Howell Davis and Mary Todd Lincoln were named joint Directors, John Brown Historical Center and Library, Harpers Ferry, WV.”
Kudos to Nann Blaine Hilyard for being such a diligent reader.
Dead Presidential Wives–correction from LJ
The Nov. 15th People listing announcing Varina Howell Davis & Mary Todd Lincoln as joint directors of the John Brown Historical Center and Library, Harpers Ferry, WV, was a bogus submission. LJ apologizes for the error. The online listing has been deleted and a correction will be included in the next print edition of LJ.
