He penned a book, "Personal Remembrances of Lincoln," complete with a photo from the presentation ceremony. Smith Stimmel is buried in Fargo. The book is rare and seems to have gotten rather expensive on the secondary market. If I can find my copy, I will scan this photo and share it with you.

Rita: where is your ancestor buried? Is there any mention of his service to Lincoln at his gravesite?
