doctors at lincoln's bedside

[loetar44]

I found a very interesting article about the Gatch brothers and their presence in the state box here:

a "must read" !

It still leaves me with one question that "keeps me awake". You can read here:

"Leale directed the efforts of two other physicians, one an Army contract surgeon, Charles Taft. Taft joined him in the President's box, attempting to revive the victim by pumping his arms up and down, clearing his throat, and blowing into his mouth." Who was the other physician. I suppose het was Dr. King as is said in all accounts. But where is Dr. Gatch as he was in the box BEFORE Taft arrived ????

Nice remark Jim! "Rubber Box" !!!

And Linda I too haven't found any corroborating evidence for Dr. Sabin ..... Read at GenForum that a certain Bea Daggett has a picture of Dr. Sabin and maybe more info. I'm trying to contact here by email, so far still no response.
