Who is this person?

[RJNorton]

Amazing, Eva! It is Eli Kirk Price. I thought for sure I would have to give clues on this one.

A mystery on the day Lincoln was assassinated involves a check for $500 written by Price to Lincoln (check dated April 13, 1865). Lincoln endorsed the check on April 14, 1865. The check is now part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The reason Price wrote the check to Abraham Lincoln is unknown. The great-grandson of Price, when asked about the $500 check, wrote, "So far as I know there are no papers of any kind available that would throw any light on that particular check."

Eva, you win best wishes that someone will someday write you a nice check for unknown reasons (or better yet you win the lottery).
