Born about 1890 in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas, Lincoln was the only child by the second marriage of Nathan Maxson Purviance and his wife Jennie B. McMillen. His clothes accidently caught on fire near a burning pile of brush. Apparently everyone thought the clothes were fully extinguished, but they continued to smolder and started on fire again. Lincoln was severely burned. He died three days later. Lincoln was only three years old.
