John Wilkes Booth Ring

[RJNorton]

Was Booth even wearing a ring when he died? I honestly don't remember. I want to say he might have been but I might also be thinking of that "mummy ring" they pulled from the impostor Booth's stomach in the 1930s.

Hi Jenny. I do not know. I also do not know about the accuracy of this web page, but here is a quote from it:

"It's not part of the exhibit, but Lucy Hale is said to have been secretly engaged to Booth. When Booth was captured, he was wearing a ring from Lucy Hale and carried a small photograph of her, said Thom Hindell, chairman of the trustees of the Woodman Institute Museum in Dover, the Hales' hometown. The Woodman museum also features a Lincoln exhibit."
