assassination

[Dennis Urban]

In Susan's blog noted above, she provides a signature of Nora Fitzpatrick as a married woman. In many publications, Nora's given name is usually shown as Honora. Close examination of the signature as written by Nora seems to reveal the actual spelling as Hannora. Could it be that many writings over many years have corrupted the true spelling of her name. The first "a" and double "n" are very clear in the example. I wonder if there is a birth certificate out there somewhere.

Also, the March 15, 1865 Ford's Theatre visit by Nora is mentioned in Louis Weichmann's book, A True History of the Assassination..., on page 98.
