Assassination Photos

[RJNorton]

Eva, Vicki and I sure agree with your description of the Geneva cemetery. Back in 1997 we decided to make a two-day trip to Geneva to see it. What you say is exactly as we found it. I remember asking my neighbor to take in the newspaper and our mail while we were gone. The conversation went something like this:

Q. Where are you going?
A. We're going to Geneva to see where Lewis Powell is buried.
Q. Huh?
A. He's the guy who attacked Secretary of State Seward.
Q. Huh?

I find this typical of Americans - of course they know Lincoln was assassinated, but the fact Lincoln was not the only target that night comes as news to many folks.
