Right, Laurie - it's Ward Hill Lamon.

You win, Roger. And I just realized that I did not pose that as a question. I would have been booted off of Jeopardy.

What is this person's name?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-26-2018 05:04 PM

Would the entire original photo show more persons? Looks civilian and innocent. I realize the background is "wrong", but is he depicted in one of the many deathbed photos?

"Would the entire original photo show more persons?"

I do not know. This is the only photo I have of this person. I do not know if it were cropped out of a larger photo or not.

"I realize the background is "wrong", but is he depicted in one of the many deathbed photos?"

You are on the right track. Now what is his name?

Julius Ulke?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-26-2018 05:32 PM

Was my thinking, too.

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-26-2018 05:58 PM

Kudos, Eva and Gene!! Yes, it is Julius Ulke - the man who took this photo:

Who is this man?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-30-2018 08:13 AM

Doctor or clergy?

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-30-2018 08:32 AM

Nope, Eva, he was neither a doctor or clergyman.

RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 03-30-2018 09:51 AM

But he was an enemy to historical fact. I believe that is Mr. Finis Bates, whose story created one of the legends that has irritated me for lo these many years - The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth.

P.S. Also the grandfather of actress Kathy Bates, and I just learned recently that Kathy's great-great-grandfather was doctor to President Andrew Jackson.

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-30-2018 09:59 AM

Very good, Laurie. You are correct. It is Finis Bates.

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-05-2018 05:58 AM

Who is this man?

RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 04-05-2018 09:53 AM

Photo is familiar, and I'm tempted to say that it was an actor of the day, but...

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-05-2018 10:06 AM

Good eyes, Laurie. You are on the right track.
