Who are the plumbers?

[GARY POPOLO]

Well I am be adding more confusion to your question but here is the information I found on Wikipedia. It seems that a young man by the name of Fleedwood Herndon Lindley was the last surviving person to look upon the face of Lincoln at his tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery on 09/26/1901 Lindley was fourteen at the time. The story goes that Lindley was born in Illinois to Joseph Lindley and Julia Herndon. Joseph was a member of the Lincoln Guard of Honor assembled in February 1880 by John Carroll Power custodian of Lincolns tomb. This in response to the attempted theft of Lincoln's remains in 1876. The tomb underwent a massive reconstruction to satisfy their curiosity and lay to rest the rumors that his body was no longer there. The guard of honor decided to open Lincoln's coffin for a final inspection. On the morning of September 26, Lindley's teacher gave him a note from his father telling him to get on his bicycle to Oak Ridge Cemetery to witness a historic occasion. In an interview on January 29th. 1963 three days before death Lindley recalled what he had seen. Yes his face was chalky white his clothes were mildewed. I was allowed to hold one of the straps as we lowered the casket for the concrete to be poured. Lindley died in Springfield on February 1st. 1963 and is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery not far from Lincoln's tomb. Hope this helps.
