Andrew Johnson - Mistress

[Jenny]

Yes. On the back of the plot deed, Mrs. Starr writes,
"January 1888
I leave this Deed of lot in this cemetery to my daughter Ellie.
- Ellen Starr"

I do know his name. Let me get back to you on that - can't think of it off the top of my head.

Okay, Steve, the name of the man buried in the plot deeded to Ella is named James Edmonston. He was buried there on May 29, 1943 and, according to Mr. Hall's notes after contacting the cemetery, is not related to either the Starrs or the Flynns (Mrs. Starr's family).

Apparently the deceased's wife bought the plot from "a distance Flynn kin who had the deed and said the lot would never be used otherwise." The right of burial was sold for $200.

After the book came out, I found no mention of Ella in later years, so I asked again -- I am still waiting for an answer...

Maybe his findings turned out to be wrong. I don't know. It's really hard for me to imagine a prostitute who was a known lover of Booth could have "married well." Maybe he can prove me wrong, but I don't see it coming.
