JFK'S SECRETARY, EVELYN LINCOLN, DIES

Evelyn Lincoln, the devoted personal secretary who served President John F. Kennedy from the day he entered the Senate to the day he was assassinated, died Thursday at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington. She was 85 and lived in Chevy Chase, Md. Her family said the cause of death was complications after cancer surgery.

The daughter of a member of Congress from Nebraska, Evelyn Norton graduated from George Washington University in Washington and studied law there for for two years. She met her husband, Harold W. Lincoln, at the university.

She was one of the seven incorporators of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, and she published two volumes of memoirs, ``My Twelve Years with John F. Kennedy,'' (1965) and ``Kennedy and Johnson,'' (1968).

In 1952, after working for an obscure Georgia congressman, Evelyn Lincoln began looking for a politician with presidential possibilities; she found Kennedy.
