Elodie Breck Todd, wife of Nathaniel Henry Rhodes Dawson, was the daughter of Robert S. Todd and Elizabeth L. Humphreys. Elodie Breck Todd Dawson was the half sister of Mary Todd Lincoln and half sister-in-law of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

From Live Oak Cemetery Tour Guide:
"Elodie Todd Dawon was the half-sister of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. She had 17 full or half siblings. She spearheaded the effort to build the Confederate Monument in what is now Confederate Memorial Circle. After his wife's death, Nathaniel H.R. Dawson ordered the sculpture of his wife from Italy, but when it arrived he was dissatisfied with her hair so he sent the statue back to Italy for a rework."
