I believe the 6 for the December 21, 1865, viewing were Governor Richard J. Oglesby, Orlin H. Miner, Jesse K. Dubois, Newton Bateman, 0zias M. Hatch, and David L. Phillips.

Scott, if I am correct on the above 6, then 3 of the names "overlap."

All were original members of the Board of Directors of the Lincoln Monument Association.
