Author and historian William McEvoy has just completed an 88 page biography on Alice North Towne Lincoln, buried on Snowdrop Path in Mount Auburn Cemetery.

Alice N. Lincoln was a philanthropist in 19th century Boston who focused on reforming tenement housing, closing down the hospital on Rainsford Island, and a number of other causes.
