Thanks, Rich. I guess there is no further "lineage" as to how these folks supposedly came by the locks?

One more point: One of the determinants in Judge Kaplan's decision to deny the exhumation of Booth's body back in the 1990s was the fact that the Booths' grave plot (and several in the area) had been subjected to a great deal of deterioration due to underground water running through it over the years. For those of you who understand DNA, what effect would the multitude of embalmings done on the so-called mummy have on the DNA?

I believe that there are several newspaper interviews with the undertaker in Enid that state that he continued to embalm the body hoping for someone to claim it. If those pickling juices were anything like what Dr. Lattimer used to describe, I would think the DNA would have been corrupted.
