Stanton dealing with Lincoln's death

[Rhatkinson]

I'm watching football and reading a surprisingly good book called "Twenty Days". In it, the story is told of how seeing Lincoln dying affected Stanton, and a most disturbing story is told.

Stanton's daughter Lucy died in 1841 and he was so overcome with grief that he had her body exhumed and kept the coffin in his house for 2 years!!! That is so disturbing. Did y'all know this (I did not).
