"If you google Saint Albans Raiders, I'm sure you will see a group photo of them under arrest in their Montreal lockup. If they didn't mind having their picture taken in Montreal, why should Sarah who was aiding them? ( another unanswerable question)."

My only answer to that question, Jerry, is that Sarah was still working as an undercover agent for the Confederacy (running the line from Richmond to Canada). Wouldn't photographs be harmful to her missions through "enemy" territory in the North?

That has been my point through this whole identification process. If the war had been over with, then YES, she would have posed for a photo. The photograph being taken at the reunion is a possibility to me - except for the outdated clothing by that time. I just have doubts that Sarah would allow herself to be photographed or to distribute any photographs during her undercover work.

I suspect that most of us have our theories about certain aspects of the assassination, etc. But we hit a brick wall and can't prove them. We have to settle with saying "we think, but can't prove."

My brick wall happens to be my theory that David Herold was sent by Booth into Southern Maryland on April 12-13, 1865, to alert the players down there that the die was cast, and the deed would be done soon. I theorize that is how David came to spend the night of April 13 with my great-grandparents. My sticking point is that I believe Dr. Mudd was one of those he contacted. Some believe me, some don't; and I have no way of proving it. You just learn to live with the fact that some things will never be proven, especially when one is dealing with underground operations.
