Dr. Joseph J. Woodward as an older man? (This is a very wild guess as admittedly doesn't look much like him when younger)

Another good guess, Roger, but this man wasn't involved in any VIP's autopsies.

Hint#2: When he visited the White House, it was not for the purpose of surgery.

What a smart guess! Sorry, Joe, it wasn't him either.

Hint#4: He didn't give any chairs to Abraham Lincoln but some "rebel letters".

Hint#5: He was an abolitionist.

This was a hard one, Eva! Now I think it is Alexander Milton Ross.

That is correct Roger, very good. I thought the "bird hint" would reveal him. Thanks for your endurance in guessing!

I think this might be a challenge. Who is this man speaking in Springfield, Illinois?

Good guess, Mr. Hess, but not him.

Hint #1: He was an author.

Excellent Gene. That didn't take long. Hannah was quite a character.

Quote below is from:
http://mrlincolnandfriends.org/inside.as...bjectID=11

Shortly before President-elect Lincoln left for Washington, Hannah came to Springfield to say good-bye. She recalled "the boys got up a story on me that I went to get to sleep with Abe." She replied "that it was not every woman who had the good fortune & high honor of sleeping with a President. This stopt the sport - cut it short." After they talked and she was about to say goodbye, she told Mr. Lincoln that she would never see him again and that he would be killed. Smiling, Mr. Lincoln said: "Hannah - if they Kill me I shall never die [another] death."
