I'm surprised that Betty hasn't contributed to this thread yet. She truly is the sage of all things Powell. The depth of her knowledge on young Lew iappears to be infinite. Trying to track the afterlife of George Atzerodt, George's mother and brother John appear to be the only family members in any remembrance of George. Dave Taylor, notes that after the death of her husband, John's widow Hester, seems to reverted back to her maiden name, Butler.
