Now it can be told...demon whiskey was responsible for Lincoln's assassination!

[Rob Wick]

It's a new one for me as well.

Tarbell was interested in Lincoln's assassination, especially in the formation of the Dramatic Oil Company between Booth, John Ellsler and Thomas Y. Mears, which, given her ties to Meadville, would make sense.

It's interesting, Roger, that of all the handwritten documents I've read, Tarbell's was certainly the worst, although toward the end of her life she suffered from Parkinson-like symptoms, so that explained a lot. Most of the material in her papers, even her notes, were typed. I would have hated to be her secretary, though.
